Schlüsselwörter: Alkoholabhängigkeit ± Ambulante Therapie ± AkupunkturResults of a Study on Outpatient Acupuncture Treatment of Alcohol and Drug Dependent Clients at a Counseling Center: In accompaniment to their treatment, 228 alcohol dependent clients participating in an outpatient acupuncture therapy for substance addiction (aural acupuncture with three to five points on each ear) were surveyed concerning characteristics of their alcohol consumption and their psychological and somatic conditions. Long-term effects of the treatment, participation in further treatment measures, subjective attitudes, and evaluations of the acupuncture treatment (causal attributions etc.) were catamnestically examined (returned questionnaires: 35.4 %). The results of the study, which was performed within the framework of a commission by the Martha-Stiftung for the preparation of a larger evaluation study, show improvements in all of the result variables which were analyzed. The status of the psychological and somatic well-being achieved at the end of the treatment was able to be maintained during the catamnesis period, while the consumption behavior worsened during the same period. The consumption behavior was however significantly better at the time-point of the follow-up interview than at the beginning of the treatment. The success of the therapy does not have a statistically significant relationship to the examined therapy conditions with the exception of the number of treatment sessions in which the patients participated.

EinleitungDie BZgA hat das Konzept des Eltern-Ordners im Auftrag des BMG in Abstimmung mit den pädiatrischen Fachgesellschaften, dem Berufsverband der Kinder- und Jugendärzte und dem Zentralinstitut für die kassenärztliche Versorgung entwickelt und dem Bundesausschuss der Ärzte und Krankenkassen vorgestellt. Die Inhalte wurden mit fachlicher Unterstützung einer Expertengruppe der Pädiatrie und Entwicklungspsychologie erarbeitet. Ziele des Eltern-Ordners und Prüfungsinhalt der Evaluation sind es, allen Eltern den Zugang zu relevantem Gesundheitswissen zu eröffnen, die Elternkompetenz zu stärken, das Arzt-Eltern-Gespräch im Rahmen der U-Untersuchungen besser vorzubereiten. An einer Nettostichprobe von N = 1.634 Familien wurden die Effekte des Eltern-Ordners in einer randomisierten Studie mit Kontrollgruppendesign in den Bundesländern Rheinland-Pfalz und Sachsen untersucht.

The "parental folder" is meant as a primary prevention programme for children starting at birth with the aim to give access to relevant health knowledge to all parents and to strengthen the parental competence in doctor-parent communication. In a sample of N=1,634 families the effects of the folder were examined in a randomized controlled study in the federal states Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony. In addition N=103 experts were asked for their valuation of the folder.
