Newest firstIntroductionSexual and reproductive health (SRH) is an essential component of primary healthcare (PHC). Advancing person-centred SRH promotes gender equality and ensures women and girls access high-quality care that respects their autonomy. This umbrella review synthesises key findings on existing person-centred SRH interventions in primary care settings, globally. MethodsSearches were conducted in five bibliometr…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundMental health and substance use disorders typically onset during youth and commonly co-occur. Integrated treatment of two or more co-existing mental health and substance use disorders (i.e., concurrent disorders) is increasingly prevalent in real-world clinical settings. However, the depth of the evidence base on best practices remains unclear.ObjectivesThis scoping review aimed to identify, map and summ…
Measures that seek to minimise the health and social consequences of substance use are an integral part of national drug strategies in many European countries. Against the backdrop of a high prevalence of cannabis use in the economically advanced countries, and increasing demand for treatment for cannabis-related problems, a range of harm reduction measures have been implemented by peers, statutory bodies and thir…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundYoung adults living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often experience sub-optimal outcomes due to competing life demands, disruptions in care, reduced clinic attendance, and difficulties in self-management. To improve outcomes among this population, we developed and piloted the D1 Now intervention using a user-centred and theory-informed approach. This protocol describes a cluster randomised controlled trial (…
Sex-related drug consumption and its health-related consequences have gained relevance in the assessment of patients with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which pose a significant challenge to public health. We aim to assess the prevalence and characteristics of drug consumption and chemsex practices, describe the associated risk factors among general individuals attending an STI clinic, and evaluate the ps…
Long-term care facilities (LTCF) are hotspots for pathogen transmission. Infection control interventions are essential, but the high density and heterogeneity of inter-individual contacts within LTCF may hinder their efficacy. Here, we explore how the patient-staff contact structure may inform effective intervention implementation. Using an individual-based model, we reproduced methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus…
Open article record in new tab ↗This review summarizes the available literature on the intersection of adolescent cannabis use and sleep disturbances, along with interventions for adolescent cannabis users who suffer sleep impairments. Adolescents are susceptible to various sleep disorders, which are often exacerbated by the use of substances such as cannabis. The relationship between cannabis and sleep is bidirectional. Interventions to improve…
Open article record in new tab ↗BACKGROUND: Substance use is common among people living with HIV (PLHIV) and is associated with worse outcomes along the HIV care continuum. One potentially effective clinic-based approach to addressing unhealthy substance use is screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT). METHODS: We conducted a two-arm randomized trial to examine the effects of a self-administered, computerized SBIRT interv…
Open article record in new tab ↗Alcohol and other drug (AOD) use is increasingly recognised as having a direct and indirect effect on the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, there is evidence to suggest that drug- and sex-related HIV risk-reduction interventions targeted at drug users within drug treatment centres or via community outreach efforts can lead to positive health outcomes. This study aimed to test whether a c…
