  • Outpatient Drug Abuse treatment for Hispanic adolescents.
    Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 2006
    Co-Authors: José Szapocznik, Barbara Lopez, Guillermo Prado, Seth J. Schwartz, Hilda Pantin
    Abstract:

    The objective of this article is to review the state of the science in evidence-based Drug Abuse treatments for Hispanic adolescents, highlight scientific opportunities, and offer recommendations to further the field of Drug Abuse treatment for this population. The article is divided into seven sections: boundaries for this review, Drug Abuse and associated problems, behavioral treatment, cultural issues in hispanic adolescent behavioral Drug Abuse treatment, pharmacological treatment, gender differences in treatment, and scientific opportunities/recommendations. Although only one treatment approach, Brief Strategic Family Therapy, has been empirically shown to be efficacious in treating Hispanic adolescent Drug Abusers, with some modifications other treatments may also have the potential to be efficacious with Hispanic adolescents. Family-based approaches, which typically appear to be most efficacious with adolescents in general, may also have the greatest potential to treat Drug Abuse in Hispanic adolescents.

  • cutaneous complications of intravenous Drug Abuse
    British Journal of Dermatology, 2004
    Co-Authors: P Del Giudice
    Abstract:

    Injection Drug Abuse is a world-wide problem responsible for numerous minor to life-threatening and fatal complications. The skin is the tissue most evidently affected by intravenous Drug addiction. A wide spectrum of cutaneous complications may occur in intravenous Drug users. These include acute or delayed local complications, hypersensitivity reactions, cutaneous manifestations of systemic infections or becoming the site of toxigenic infections. Between 1996 and 2001, in our institution in south-eastern France, we observed cutaneous complications after crushed buprenorphine tablet injections in 13 patients. This paper reviews and classifies adverse effects of parenteral Drug Abuse on the skin.

  • Drug Abuse and developmental psychopathology.
    Development and psychopathology, 2000
    Co-Authors: Meyer D. Glantz, Alan I. Leshner
    Abstract:

    Drug Abuse research and theory has become much more sophisticated over the last 2 decades, and some of the advancements parallel concepts that are part of the developmental psychopathology approach. The application of the developmental psychopathology perspective to recent Drug Abuse research findings can provide a greater understanding of that information and point to important areas of future research. Among the Drug Abuse research areas discussed here and viewed from this perspective are antecedent and co-occurring psychopathological conditions and other problem behaviors; the diversity of the nature of, paths to, and processes and outcomes related to Drug Abuse; the role of intermediary influences; the interaction of individual and environmental predisposing and protective factors; the role of families and other social institutions in intervention; and developmental stage characteristics. Directions for future research are also discussed.
