A consecutive sample of 120 patients with HIV/AIDS attending the Medical Out-patient Department (M.O.P.D) in Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (A.B.U.T.H), Zaria was assessed. All participants were screened for alcohol related problems using the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). High risk sexual behavior \u0000was assessed using the HIV Risk-taking Behavior Questionnaire (HRBQ). Alcohol-related problems were found in 28.3% of participants (10% had hazardous use, 3.3% had harmful use and \u000015% had alcohol dependence). There was a significant association between alcohol-related problems and risky sexual behavior. Alcohol-related problems are fairly common in people already infected with HIV/AIDS and are associated with high-risk sexual behavior. Thus, screening and treatment should be part of an effective HIV intervention program. \u0000 \u0000 Key Words: Alcohol related problems, high-risk sexual behavior, hazardous use, harmful use, alcohol dependence","PeriodicalId":39196,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Drug and Alcohol Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4314/AJDAS.V8I1.47409","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70450179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicated that belief leading to the adoption, initiation and maintenance of health behaviours must be explicitly conceived by patients as a process that consists of at least a motivation phase and volition phase, leading to positive outcomes in compliance and abstinence maintenance for the treatment of substance use disorders. However if patients do not believe in their capability to perform the desired action, they would fail to adopt, initiate and maintain it leading to frequent relapses. Using group cognitive-behaviour therapy among male patients, self efficacy and religiosity were found to be effective components of cognitive behaviour therapy in substance use disorders as this led to high compliance and sustained abstinence over a six month assessment period, when compared with patients who did not have this approach. \u0000 \u0000 Key Words: health action process approach, self efficacy, religiosity, cognitive behaviour therapy, substance use disorders","PeriodicalId":39196,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Drug and Alcohol Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4314/AJDAS.V8I1.47411","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70449711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A major concern is the extent to which substance abuse prevention programmes reflect evidence-based practices (EBPs). This paper reports on the findings from a cross-sectional audit of youth-focused alcohol and other drug prevention programmes conducted in the Cape Town Metropole in 2007. This audit explored the extent to \u0000which EBPs are used in prevention programmes and examined possible barriers to their adoption. Key findings suggest that most prevention programmes are not guided by EBP and are implemented in the absence of evidence on their effectiveness. The lack of a national regulatory regime for prevention programmes and limited funding are major barriers to implementing sustainable and effective prevention programmes. Based on these findings, strategies to assist in improving substance abuse prevention services and recommendations for improving service delivery systems are provided. \u0000 \u0000 Key Words: Youth, prevention programmes, South Africa, evidence-based practices","PeriodicalId":39196,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Drug and Alcohol Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4314/AJDAS.V8I1.47407","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70450090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Active or former substance abusers (N =1,420) were interviewed using a structured questionnaire format. The peak age for substance abuse was between 21 and 30 years and most abusers were male. Leisure, stress and peer pressure were the most common reasons given for abusing substances. There were negative economic and work-related impacts of abusing substances.

This paper is the first summary in English of findings in alcohol epidemiology and treatment in relation to immigrants from Ethiopia. \u0000A review of all studies published in the professional literature concerning alcohol use and treatment among Ethiopian immigrants in Israel was conducted as well as summary of the main literature concerning the problems of the Ethiopian community in Israel and alcohol use in Ethiopia. The review located only a few studies and reports in Hebrew in relation to alcohol use among immigratns from Ethiopia. However, it identifies alcohol use amoung young immigrants as more prevalent than among other Israelis, and shows that Ethiopian immigrants are overrepresented in treatment in comparison to their segment in the Israeli absorbing society. Recommendations include the need for research on alcohol use patterns among adults, as well as developing and implementing more alcohol prevention programs, including programs in Amharic, and training of Ethiopian professionals and recovered Ethiopian alcoholics to lead the prevention activities. \u0000 \u0000KEY WORDS: alcohol, Ethiopia, immigrants, Israel","PeriodicalId":39196,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Drug and Alcohol Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4314/AJDAS.V7I1.46357","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70449847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exposure data were taken from surveys, the World Health \u0000Organization (WHO) Global Status Report on Alcohol and the WHO Global Alcohol Database. \u0000Mortality and disability data were obtained directly from WHO. The results showed that adult per \u0000capita alcohol consumption (population15 years and above) in SSA was higher than the global \u0000consumption rate (7.4 L vs. 6.2 L) and that alcohol consumption per adult drinker was 42% higher \u0000than the global rate. Alcohol was responsible for a considerable disease burden: 2.2% of all deaths \u0000and 2.5% of all DALYs could be attributed to this exposure. Intentional and unintentional injuries \u0000accounted for 53% of all alcohol-attributable deaths and almost 57% of alcohol-attributable disease \u0000burden. Among men 70% of all alcohol-attributable injury deaths occurred among 15-44 year olds (52% among women). This first attempt to quantify the health burden attributable to alcohol in SSA provides evidence of the direct health costs associated with drinking in the continent. In light \u0000of known effective and cost-effective measures, there is urgent need to implement interventions \u0000aimed at reducing levels of risky drinking and the high burden of alcohol-related harm in African \u0000countries. \u0000 \u0000KEY WORDS: alcohol consumption, patterns of drinking, sub-Saharan Africa, burden of disease","PeriodicalId":39196,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Drug and Alcohol Studies","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4314/AJDAS.V7I1.46355","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70449797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
