For Whom Do Unstructured Activities Matters? The Interaction Between Unstructured and Structured Activities in Delinquency and Cannabis Use : A National Self-Report Study

This study examines whether unstructured and structured activities interact in their association with delinquency and cannabis use. We hypothesize that unstructured activities are more strongly associated with delinquency and cannabis use for those who are less engaged in structured activities. Data are drawn from three nationally representative self-report studies conducted between 2005 and 2011

Överutnyttjandediskursen. En innehålls- och konsekvensanalys av diskursen kring överutnyttjande av sjukförsäkringen

Debatten om den höga svenska sjukfrånvaron har under senare år alltmer kommit att kretsa kring överutnyttjande och fusk. Det har etablerats en överutnyttjandediskurs, som bygger på föreställningen om en sjukfrånvaroepidemi i den arbetande befolkningen. I denna skrift görs en närgången och detaljerad analys av överutnyttjandediskursens innehåll och verklighetsbeskrivningar. Mer specifikt intressera

Maintaining teaching : exploring te(a)ch-abilities with actor-network theory

The thesis investigates everyday teaching with digital technology duringthe Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. The pandemic was one of theworld’s largest disruptions to everyday education with both health andeducation at stake. With the pandemic control measures affecting uppersecondary education in Sweden, gathering in the classroom cannot betaken for granted and digital technologies accelerated

Diversion of methadone and buprenorphine by patients in opioidsubstitution treatment in Sweden : prevalence estimates and risk factors

Background: Diversion—patients who sell or share their medication—is a hotly debated but rela-tively unresearched phenomenon. We have investigated the prevalence of self-reported diversion ofmethadone and buprenorphine at OST programs in Sweden. We have also examined if demographic,treatment, and social factors can be associated with an increased risk of diversion. Methods: Structured interviews w

Non-prescribed use of methadone and buprenorphine prior to opioid substitution treatment : lifetime prevalence, motives, and drug sources among people with opioid dependence in five Swedish cities

Background: Opioid substitution treatment (OST) with methadone or buprenorphine is the most effective means of treating opioid dependence. If these substances are used by people who are not undergoing OST, they can however carry serious risks. This article examines the lifetime prevalence, motives, and drug sources for such use, as well as geographical differences in these variables. Methods: Stru

Long-term self-treatment with methadone or buprenorphine as a response to barriers to opioid substitution treatment : the case of Sweden

Background It is well known that illicit use of methadone and buprenorphine is common among people with an opioid dependence. Less notice has been taken of the fact that these substances are also used for extended periods of self-treatment, as a way of handling barriers to OST. In this study, motives for self-treatment are investigated, as well as attitudes and perceived barriers to OST among drug

Being a Parent to an Adult Child With Drug Problems : Negative Impacts on Life Situation, Health, and Emotions

This study is about the vulnerability of parents to adult children with drug problems. The study is based on a self-reporting questionnaire (n = 687) distributed to parents in Sweden via family member organizations, treatment centers, and online communities. Most parents reported extensive negative consequences on relationships, social life, and mental health due to their children’s drug problems.

Patient perspectives on depot buprenorphine treatment for opioid addiction - a qualitative interview study

Background: Recently developed buprenorphine depot injections have the potential to reduce risk for diversion and misuse, and to increase adherence with fewer visits for supervised intake. However, it is unclear how patients perceive this new form of medication. The purpose of this study was to explore patients experiences of depot injections and their reasons for continuing, discontinuing, or dec

User movies as a means of incorporating the knowledge and experience of users in web-based professional education

Combining video clips with forum discussions is a useful strategy in web-based distance learning. This article documents experiences from a project where specially recorded ‘user movies’ were used as a means of incorporating a user perspective in a web-based course on maintenance treatment of opiate addiction. User movies can help solve two common pedagogical challenges in distance learning. First

Methodological issues in consciousness research : Theory comparison, the role of empirical evidence, and a replication crisis

Which of the many available theories of consciousness should a newcomer to the field choose? We consider possible ways to deal with this conundrum. We argue that convergence of theories is unlikely. Next, we consider ways comparing theories highlighting significant issues with existing endeavors in this regard. Given the nature of the field, presumably empirical support has a critical role to play
