Zusammenfassung. Zielsetzung: Monitoringsysteme für die Behandlung von Substanzbezogenen Störungen (MfS) werden eingesetzt, um den Gesundheitszustand der Zielgruppe, Interventionen und deren Ergebnisse zu erfassen. Die Entwicklung der bestehenden Systeme, Möglichkeiten und Probleme werden untersucht. Methodik: Da MfS selten Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Publikationen sind, wurden, ausgehend von zentralen Publikationen des European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), der Pompidou-Gruppe und der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) / United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) relevante Publikationen gesucht. Diese sind, zusammen mit der langjährigen Erfahrung in deutschen und europäischen MfS, Grundlage der Darstellung. Ergebnisse: Ähnliche Bedingungen und ein regelmäßiger Austausch haben zu Gemeinsamkeiten bei nationalen und internationalen MfS geführt. Zentrale Merkmale sind: eine Vielzahl beteiligter Akteure aus Versorgung, Finanzierung, Wissenschaft, Technik und Administration; Themenfelder: Verfügbarkeit und Zugang, Effektivität und Effizienz, Akzeptanz und Nutzung von Behandlung; Erhebungseinheiten: Klient, Therapeut, Einrichtung, Behandlung und Ergebnisse. Daten aus der Routineerhebung werden in meist anonymisierter Form regelmäßig zusammengeführt und berichtet. Zentrale Ziele sind dabei die Erkennung von Trends und Veränderungen, Abschätzung von Bedarf und Rückmeldung über die Effekte von Interventionen. Als kritisch erwiesen sich die Repräsentativität der Stichproben, nicht zu kontrollierende Einflussfaktoren und Probleme der Vergleichbarkeit zwischen Regionen, Teilgruppen und über die Zeit. Schlussfolgerungen: MfS sollten trotz methodischer Probleme und Einschränkungen weiter verwendet werden, da Informationen zu Behandlungsbedarf, Durchführung und Ergebnissen von Interventionen im Bereich der Suchthilfe zeitnah notwendig sind und alternative Datenquellen fehlen. Eine klarere Zielsetzung und bessere Konzeption, langfristige Perspektiven, Unabhängigkeit und Qualitätssicherung, eine kritische Interpretation der Ergebnisse und eine bessere Verknüpfung zwischen MfS, anderen Datenquellen und wissenschaftlicher Forschung könnten Wert und Bedeutung von MfS deutlich erhöhen.

By detailed analyses of Polish and world statistics, the authors search for the answer if in fact,as some politicians and citizens claim, the world and in particular European Union and Polandare overcome by the wave of violence. Data gathered, among others, by Polish Public OpinionResearch Center (CBOS), Eurostat and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNOCD), aswell as anthropologists and police, clearly prove the opposite. Scientific comparisons concerningviolence over the centuries show that its scale drastically decreased and the world gets saferwith time. Statistical reports of the United Nations especially clearly indicate European Union(including Poland) as particularly peaceful region against the rest of the world, having the lowestmurder rates. Eurostat data confirm these results, also showing decrease in other crimes overthe years. Polish police data similarly prove existence of this trend and CBOS indicates thatit is reflected in increasing sense of security among Poles. In the second part of the article theauthors explain potential reasons for using such false slogans as “increasing wave of violence” bypoliticians and raising fear in voters as well as psychological mechanisms responsible for theirpotential effectiveness.

According to UNODC (The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) in the World Drug Report in 2015, the estimated drug users in 2013 were 246 million people, where the highest number of drug cases occurred in the population of 15-64 years of age. The biggest factor that can influence the success of drug users to leave drugs forever is the strong intentions from within and positive family support. This study aimed to find out in depth regarding the process of establishing family support for rehabilitated adolescent drug abusers at Bangli Mental Hospital. This study employed a qualitative design. The qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interview to 12 informants, where 6 informants were the parents of the drug abusers, 3 nurses in the rehabilitation room, and 3 adolescents who were being rehabilitated in Bangli mental hospital. This study revealed that the family had internal and external factors as well as inhibiting factors in forming and providing support to residents. In forming support, the residents’ family had internal and external factors that influenced it, moreover they also had inhibiting factors such as feeling of weary and distance from home.

The objective of this work is to propose a project of a multi-sport court with integrated community center for the community square of Petrópolis neighborhood, located at Marginal Street, without number, Manaus - Am. Being an important reference point in social inclusion and life promotion healthy, the proposal also aims to contribute to the valorization of the urban space. The community square of the Petrópolis neighborhood has no structure to practice multisport exercises. The purpose of the proposal is to provide a suitable place for physical activities, provide an environment for residents' meetings, especially encourage young people to practice sports, in order to keep them away from drugs and crime.

The Impact

In this paper, we present a nonlinear mathematical model, describing the spread of high-risk alcohol consumption behavior among college students in Colombia. We proved the existence and stability of the alcohol-free and drinking state equilibrium by means of Lyapunov function and LaSalle’s invariance principle. Also, we apply optimal control to study the impact of a preventive measure on the spread of drinking behavior among college students. Finally, we use numerical simulations and available data provided by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Colombian Ministry of Justice to validate the obtained mathematical model.
