    Reasons for Cannabis use in Psychosis
    SAGE Publications ; 2006

    Abstract: Objective: To examine the reasons for cannabis use among individuals with psychotic disorders. Method: Forty-nine people with psychotic disorders in treatment with community health centres in Northern Sydney were interviewed to collect information about their experience of antipsychotic side-effects and their influence on cannabis use. Other information collected on cannabis use included: amount and frequency, effects of use and other general reasons given for use. Results: It was found that boredom, social motives, improving sleep, anxiety and agitation and symptoms associated with negative psychotic symptoms or depression were the most important motivators of cannabis use. Positive symptoms of psychosis and antipsychotic side-effects that were not associated with anxiety, were not important motivators of cannabis use. Conclusions: As cannabis use may precipitate relapse in this population, it is important to reduce these motivators of use. Clinician's must assess and treat these problems, thus reducing the need for patients to self-medicate with cannabis, and therefore reducing the risk of relapse.

    Is Cannabis Use a Contributory Cause of Psychosis?
    SAGE Publications ; 2006

    In: The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, SAGE Publications, Vol. 51, No. 9 ( 2006-08), p. 556-565
    Abstract: To assess whether cannabis use in adolescence and young adulthood is a contributory cause of schizophreniform psychosis in that it may precipitate psychosis in vulnerable individuals. Method: We reviewed longitudinal studies of adolescents and young adults that examined the relations between self-reported cannabis use and the risk of diagnosis with a psychosis or of reporting psychotic symptoms. We also reviewed studies that controlled for potential confounders, such as other forms of drug use and personal characteristics that predict an increased risk of psychosis. We assessed evidence for the biological plausibility of a contributory causal relation. Results: Evidence from 6 longitudinal studies in 5 countries shows that regular cannabis use predicts an increased risk of a schizophrenia diagnosis or of reporting symptoms of psychosis. These relations persisted after controlling for confounding variables, such as personal characteristics and other drug use. The relation did not seem to be a result of cannabis use to self-medicate symptoms of psychosis. A contributory causal relation is biologically plausible because psychotic disorders involve disturbances in the dopamine neurotransmitter systems with which the cannabinoid system interacts, as demonstrated by animal studies and one human provocation study. Conclusion: It is most plausible that cannabis use precipitates schizophrenia in individuals who are vulnerable because of a personal or family history of schizophrenia.

    The prevalence and correlates of chronic pain and suicidality in a nationally representative sample
    SAGE Publications ; 2015

    Abstract: Research suggests that people suffering from chronic pain have elevated rates of suicidality. With an ageing population, more research is essential to gain a better understanding of this association. Aims: To document the prevalence and correlates of chronic pain and suicide, and estimate the contribution of chronic pain to suicidality. Method: Data from the 2007 Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing, a nationally representative household survey on 8841 people, aged 16–85 years, was analysed. Results: The odds of lifetime and past 12-month suicidality were two to three times greater in people with chronic pain. Sixty-five percent of people who attempted suicide in the past 12 months had a history of chronic pain. Chronic pain was independently associated with lifetime suicidality after controlling for demographic, mental health and substance use disorders. Conclusions: Health care professionals need to be aware of the risk of suicidality in patients with chronic pain, even in the absence of mental health problems.

    The Australian Illicit Drug Reporting System: Monitoring Trends in Illicit Drug Availability, Use and Drug-Related Harm in Australia 1996–2006

    Abstract: We describe trends in illicit drug use revealed by the Australian Illicit Drug Reporting System (IDRS) between 1996 and 2006. We begin by briefly outlining the rationale, development, and testing of the IDRS, which integrates information from: interviews with a sentinel population of injecting drug users (IDU); key experts in health and law enforcement; and indicators that include information on drug purity and price, plus indicators of drug-related harm, such as fatal and nonfatal overdoses. These sources of information are critically discussed at annual meetings of researchers, policy makers and practitioners in the field. We describe what the IDRS has revealed about the use of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines, and injected pharmaceutical preparations (opioids and benzodiazepines) over the period 1996–2006. We also illustrate how IDRS data can be combined with pharmaceutical prescription data to evaluate the effectiveness of policies designed to reduce benzodiazepine injecting. We also very briefly describe recent experience with monitoring trends on “dance party” drug use that extends the methods of IDRS by combining data from interviews with party drug users, key experts, and leading indicators of drug use.

    The Social, Material, and Temporal Effects of Monthly Extended-Release Buprenorphine Depot Treatment for Opioid Dependence: An Australian Qualitative Study
    SAGE Publications ; 2023
    In:  Contemporary Drug Problems Vol. 50, No. 1 ( 2023-03), p. 105-120
    Details
    In: Contemporary Drug Problems, SAGE Publications, Vol. 50, No. 1 ( 2023-03), p. 105-120
    Abstract: This study examined the social, material and temporal effects of extended-release buprenorphine depot treatment (BUP-XR), among a group of participants commencing BUP-XR in Australia, and considered the situated potentials of these new opioid agonist treatment technologies. Methods: Using a longitudinal qualitative design, 36 participants (25 men, 11 women; mean age 44 years) were interviewed, with 32 followed-up, to generate accounts of BUP-XR experiences. Analysis was informed by sociological approaches which attend to the multiple effects of novel health interventions as they are put to use and made to work, with a focus on tracing change over time. Analysis: The shift from daily to monthly dosing altered how opioid agonist treatment was experienced, reconfigured participants’ relationship to treatment, and affected the temporal patterns of participants’ lives. Extending temporal relations released participants from short-term cycles of living and produced different forms of subjectivity, bringing about both transformation and loss. Monthly dosing, and a sense of normalcy characterized by absenting the routines and felt effects of drugs or treatment medications, potentiated a feeling of stability for many participants. For some, disrupting daily routines precipitated disconnection from treatment and social care relations. The transition from daily to monthly dosing required adaptation and new ways of engaging with treatment and care, with medication acting as a bridge to care without necessarily being the focal point. Conclusions: As BUP-XR treatment gains traction internationally, it will be important to attend to the multiple, and sometimes unexpected, effects this intervention makes in the social and material lives of clients. How choice, social connection, and care can be maintained to help secure BUP-XR’s longer-term impact, and how clients can be supported to adjust to what is felt to be a new normal, will be considerations in future treatment delivery.

    Alcohol- and Drug-Use Disorders in Australia: Implications of the National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing
    SAGE Publications ; 2000
    In:  Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry Vol. 34, No. 2 ( 2000-04), p. 206-213

    Abstract: Objective: This study reports the prevalence and correlates of ICD-10 alcohol- and drug-use disorders in the National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing (NSMHWB) and discusses their implications for treatment. Method: The NSMHWB was a nationally representative household survey of 10 641 Australian adults that assessed participants for symptoms of the most prevalent ICD-10 and DSM-IV mental disorders, including alcohol- and drug-use disorders. Results: In the past 12 months 6.5%% of Australian adults met criteria for an ICD-10 alcohol-use disorder and 2.2%% had another ICD-10 drug-use disorder. Men were at higher risk than women of developing alcohol- and drug-use disorders and the prevalence of both disorders decreased with increasing age. There were high rates of comorbidity between alcohol- and other drug-use disorders and mental disorders and low rates of treatment seeking. Conclusions: Alcohol-use disorders are a major mental health and public health issue in Australia. Drug-use disorders are less common than alcohol-use disorders, but still affect a substantial minority of Australian adults. Treatment seeking among persons with alcohol- and other drug-use disorders is low. A range of public health strategies (including improved specialist treatment services) are needed to reduce the prevalence of these disorders.
