In addition, treatment satisfaction may have implications for treatment outcomes. The present study aimed to explore treatment satisfaction among OAT patients one year after enrollment, as well as the role of different psychosocial and treatment characteristics in treatment satisfaction. <b>Methods:</b> The study was based on data from the NorComt project (2012-2016), which used a multicenter cohort design with structured questionnaire-based interviews. The sample consisted of 175 OAT patients in Norway who rated their treatment satisfaction (high, mixed, low) one year after enrollment in a new treatment episode in OAT. Treatment satisfaction (high versus mixed or low) was used as a dependent variable in logistic regression models, with demographic characteristics, well-being, substance use, and treatment characteristics as independent variables. <b>Results:</b> Overall, 54.9% of the participants reported high satisfaction with OAT one year after enrollment, while 25.7% reported mixed satisfaction and 19.4% low satisfaction. Of the 175 participants who reported on treatment satisfaction, 161 remained in treatment at follow-up. Reporting an active occupational status and an individual treatment plan in OAT was associated with increased odds for reporting treatment satisfaction, while reporting ongoing substance use was associated with decreased odds for reporting treatment satisfaction. <b>Conclusions:</b> Psychosocial, situational factors, as well as coordinated, integrated support, may play a role in OAT patients' treatment satisfaction. To identify facilitators and barriers in OAT, it is vital to address relevant needs and goals for treatment from the perspectives of patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":46180,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs","volume":" ","pages":"14550725251351711"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12240988/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144627319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The so-called Nordic model has consisted of strong state intervention and, in many cases, monopolistic provision. However, internal and external pressures pose challenges to the model. This article provides a comparative review of current policies on alcohol and gambling in the Nordic region. <b>Methods:</b> We analyse framings, implementation and outcomes of current alcohol and gambling policies in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. We produce a review of legal documents and grey literature. We also analyse on-going and recent policy changes (2021-2024). Our focus is on policies related to World Health Organisation's evidence-based \"best buys\": physical availability, taxation and marketing. While these best buys are designed for alcohol, we also apply these to gambling. <b>Results:</b> Control policies in the region take place on a spectrum from more restrictive to more market-oriented. Overall, alcohol policy is more restrictive than gambling policy. In comparison with gambling policy, alcohol policy was characterised by a stricter public health framing and consistent implementation based on the best buys. In terms of policy outcomes, more stringent alcohol regulations translated, to some extent, to lower consumption and prevalence, but not systematically. Recent policy developments suggest that alcohol policy may be heading towards increased de-regulation, whereas gambling policies are becoming stricter. <b>Conclusions:</b> The Nordic model continues to be visible particularly in alcohol control. However, the model is challenged by politics. To persist, the Nordic model needs political will and increased cross-country and cross-sectoral collaboration.</p>","PeriodicalId":46180,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs","volume":" ","pages":"14550725251350445"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12222102/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144576555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants were presented with a story stem and invited to complete it. The stories were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The stories were selected to provide insights into the affect underpinning gendered bodies and certain cultural scenarios. <b>Results:</b> Alcohol consumption was presented not only as fun, but also as a way to calm nerves around expressing sexuality. Anxieties and regrets about alcohol consumption were gendered. Young female characters were shamed for drinking too much and portrayed as more at risk of coming to harm because of sexual violence. However, there were no signs of slut-shaming. To deal with the risks, they took measures such as being accompanied by a responsible sober friend. Parents were conspicuous by their absence, and adults rarely featured in the stories. <b>Conclusions:</b> The research provides insights into how young people's relations with alcohol are mediated by gender. The risks the participants identified in their fictional accounts should be considered in policies and pedagogical attempts to reduce harmful alcohol consumption practices. Schools should play a greater role in increasing young people's knowledge and understanding of alcohol and drug use and the social, behavioural, emotional and moral aspects associated with it.</p>","PeriodicalId":46180,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs","volume":" ","pages":"14550725251350528"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12209231/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144555230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using cross-sectional analysis, we first examined the relationship between \"alcohol and drug use\" and \"drug-free friendships\" across the five follow-ups. We tested whether these associations were significant using chisquare chi-squared tests. Second, we developed three latent growth curve models examining the association between \"alcohol and drug use\" and \"drug-free friendships\". <b>Results:</b> Our analysis displays a stable drug-free friendships pattern across follow-ups. Only in the fourth follow-up was there a significant association between lower \"alcohol and drug use\" and having \"drug-free friendships\" (χ² = 18.27, df = 8, <i>p</i> < .05). In model 1, we found no association between gender, debut age, and alcohol and drug use; model 2 had significant variance on intercept but not on slope; model 3 had good fit (χ² = 44.33, df = 39, comparative fit index = 0.98, root mean square error of approximation = 0.027).

Questions were asked about changes in alcohol consumption during the pandemic and to what extent financial and mental health problems were experienced. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate whether exposure to these problems was related to increasing consumption and as a complementary analysis to decreased drinking. An additive interaction analysis was conducted to assess whether there was a joint effect of these problems. <b>Results:</b> The proportion of respondents who reported increased alcohol consumption was higher among those who had experienced financial or mental health problems, and it rose with the severity of negative experiences. However, findings from logistic regressions (including both exposure variables and covariates) showed that only experiences of mental health problems significantly elevated the risk (odds ratio) of increased consumption. Experiences of mental health problems were also related to a higher likelihood of decreasing consumption, although the odds ratio was lower.
