  Overgang fra injisering til sniffing/røyking av heroin Røyking og sniffing av heroin er en mye mindre skadelig inntaksmåte enn injisering. Norge ligger dessverre på toppen i Europa i antall narkotikadødsfall per innbygger. Dette er knyttet til stort omfang av heroinbruk blant brukere av tunge illegale narkotiske stoffer og at heroinet inntas med sprøyte. For å redusere narkotikadødsfall og overdoser må det arbeides for at injisering av heroinbruk reduseres, både ved å redusere rekruttering til heroinbruk, hjelpe eksisterende brukere til å slutte helt eller gå over til substitusjonsbehandling og å arbeide for at røyking og sniffing blir mer populært i brukergruppa. I Spania, nærmere bestemt i Madrid og Barcelona, har en forskergruppe beregnet at rekrutteringen til heroinbruk steg jevnt fra 1970 til ca. 1990, for deretter å falle drastisk fram mot 2006. Et annet funn var at blant de som ble rekruttert til heroinbruk var det fra midten av 80-tallet mer vanlig å røyke stoffet (chase the dragon) enn å injisere det (Sânchez-Niubò et al 2013). Annen litteratur om bruk av heroin i Spania påpeker at det ikke har vært tiltak fra myndighetenes side som har bidratt til redusert rekruttering til heroinbruk og røyking av det istedenfor injisering. Hovedforklaringene knyttes til ulike subkulturer og heroinmarkeder i spanske regioner. I regioner hvor det hvite heroinet dominerte, ble stoffet injisert, mens i regioner hvor det brune heroinet dominerte ble det røykt i mye større grad. Når det hvite heroinet forsvant fra markedet, økte omfanget av røyking. Spania har hatt en stor HIV epidemi blant sprøytebrukere, men risikoen for å bli HIV smittet ser ikke ut til å ha påvirket overgangen til sniffing (de la Fuente et al. 1996, 1997a og 1997b). Det er altså ikke så mye lærdom om virksomme tiltak å hente fra Spania til Norge. Men er det mulig å påvirke markedet og injeksjonskulturen ved å se til teori og empiri om endring av risikoatferd??

  The most common quantity used to describe the growth of an epidemic when modelling infectious diseases is the basic reproduction number R0. While R0 is most appropriate for epidemics with short-lasting infections, long-lasting infections such as HIV/AIDS may call for the use of growth rates with other properties. For a group of multi-state compartment models we define both R0, the actual reproduction number Ra(t), and the intrinsic growth rate r .We study the relationship between these different reproduction numbers and growth rates and take a brief look at how they could be estimated from actual observed data. The work is illustrated by a model for HIV/AIDS progression among homosexual men in England and Wales. We conclude that other measures of growth, in addition to R0, give important supplementary information.

  This study investigated the inter-rater reliability when 169 out of 171 clinicians working in 10 Norwegian child and adolescent mental health services rated 20 written vignettes using the following outcome measures: Health of the Nation Outcome Scales for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA), Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) and Global Assessment of Psychosocial Disability (GAPD). Three clinicians rated both patients and vignettes. On vignettes the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for the HoNOSCA total score was 0.81 (single scales 0.47–0.96), for the CGAS 0.61 and for the GAPD 0.60. The reliability was not lower on patients. The rater’s profession, experience or clinic did not have effect on the scores

  Clinician-rated measures are in extensive use as routine outcome measures in child and adolescent mental health services. We investigated cross-national differences and inter-rater reliability of the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA), the Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) and the Global Assessment of Psychosocial Disability (GAPD). Thirty clinicians from 5 nations independently rated 20 written vignettes. The national groups afterwards established national consensus ratings. There were no cross-national differences in independent scores, but there were differences in national consensus scores, which were also more severe than independent scores. The ICC for the HoNOSCA total score was 0.84, for the CGAS 0.61 and for the GAPD 0.54. These measures may usefully contribute to cross-national comparison studies.

  Back-calculation is a method of obtaining estimates of the number of infections of a disease over time. Data on an endpoint of the disease, together with knowledge of the time from infection to endpoint, allows reconstruction of the incidence of infection. The technique has had much success when applied to the HIV epidemic, using incidence of AIDS diagnoses to inform past HIV infections. In recent years, the period from infection to AIDS has changed considerably due to new regimes of anti-viral therapies. This has led to attempts to use incidence of first positive HIV test as an alternative basis for back-calculation. Developing on earlier work, this paper explores the feasibility of a multi-state formulation of the back-calculation method that models the disease and diagnosis processes and uses HIV diagnoses as an endpoint. Estimation is carried out in a Bayesian framework, which naturally allows incorporation of external information to inform the diagnosis probabilities. The idea is illustrated on data from the HIV epidemic in homosexuals in England and Wales.

  Prevalence and incidence measures are the common way to describe epidemics. The reproduction number supplies information on the potential for epidemical growth or decline. We define an actual reproduction number for infectious disease transmission that has taken place. An estimator is suggested, based on the number of new infections observed in a given time interval, the number of those infected at the start of the interval, and the length of the infectious period. That estimator is applied to HIV among men having sex with other men over the period, 1977-1995, in Scandinavia. The actual reproduction number was estimated with acceptable certainty from the period, 1981-82, yielding a value of 15 secondary cases. A value of less than one secondary case was assessed for the period, 1988-1995, in Denmark and Sweden. The actual reproduction number gives us some additional understanding of the dynamics of epidemics, compared with prevalence and incidence curves.
