Abstract: Anonymous self-report health and wellbeing surveys were completed by alternative education (AE) students in the Auckland and Northland regions of New Zealand, and 11 semi-structured interviews were conducted with key informants about their perceptions of health issues by AE students. Both groups reported concerning health-risk behaviours among AE students, including drug and alcohol abuse, depressive symptoms and dangerous driving. Health services have consistently failed to engage AE students in effective primary and preventative care that includes their whanau/family. Significant changes to the current New Zealand health system are required to provide appropriate and effective health care for students attending AE facilities. [Author abstract]

Abstract: Over the past 10 years there has been an increasing interest in the lives of children in families affected by parental alcohol or other drug use. What remains relatively unexplored is how children and young people experience these lives and the way in which they are supported by the broad service system. This paper reports on a project conducted in the Australian Capital Territory where young people talked about their lives. It stresses the importance of recognising that children and young people can be affected by their parents' alcohol or other drug use, and that it is important to spend time talking with them to gauge their needs and wishes and to adopt a collaborative and family-focused approach to responding to the needs of all members within the family unit.

Abstract: The National Drug Sector Information Service is committed to supporting those who work to prevent or reduce the harm to individuals, families, communities and the nation caused by alcohol and other drugs.

Title: Young people, prostitution and state out-of-home care : the views of a group of child welfare professionals in Victoria.

Abstract: Previous research suggests a link between experiences of state out-of-home care - particularly residential care - and involvement in prostitution. This study explored the nature of this relationship via semi-structured interviews with nine Victorian health and welfare professionals who had worked with young people living in residential care. The findings suggest a complex interaction between pre-care and in-care factors. Environmental and systemic factors within residential care that may contribute to prostitution involvement include peer influence, older males, drug use, staffing factors, poor provision of sex and relationship education, placement decisions, and social isolation. Some significant implications for policy and service delivery are identified. [Author abstract]

Abstract: This study sought to identify factors that influenced the perceived complexity of providing nursing care to others (who were dependent on alcohol and tobacco) and the confidence of undergraduate student nurses to carry out this care. The research project was designed to explore whether there was a difference between the perceived complexities of 57 different nursing tasks and skills as understood by student nurses and their differing ages, gender and types of first language used. By using a probabilistic measurement approach (Rasch model), the study sought to assess whether a scale of performance for learning could be constructed based on the difficulty of nursing care required and the self-rated capacity of the undergraduate nursing students to provide the nursing care. Outcomes of the study suggest that nursing students do differ significantly both in how they view the complexity of providing nurse care and their capacity to provide that nursing care. Recommendations are made for informing nursing education programs, in a bid to make nursing care as it relates to others who are substance dependent, more effective. [Author abstract]

Abstract: The consumption of alcohol is embedded in the cultural psyche of rural Australia. By their early teens, most rural youth have tried alcohol, and some consume alcohol regularly. When the drink, the young often do so at hazardous and harmful rates, increasing their likelihood of being involved in social disorder as victims or perpetrators, or both. This article analyses available data and suggests strategies to lower the rates of alcohol-related social disorder in rural regions. [Author abstract, ed]

Abstract: The fetal alcohol syndrome represents a pattern of physical malformations observed in offspring of women who consume alcohol during pregnancy. Besides physical defects associated with in utero exposure to alcohol, serious cognitive deficiencies, mental retardation in particular, are now recognised as the most serious consequence of alcohol consumption during prenatal development. The purpose of the present review is to examine the literature that bears upon the behaviourally teratogenic aspects of alcohol; specifically, research focusing on the following issues is synthesized: prevalence of alcohol abuse among women; acute and chronic effects of alcohol on the fetus; genetic susceptibility; neuropathology; correlative conditions; and animal studies. Implications for the field of special education are considered throughout the review.
