“…While research indicates that treatment outcomes for methamphetamine users are similar to those of other drug users (Luchansky, 2003; Otero, Boles, Young, & Dennis, 2006; Rawson et al, 2000), the lack of treatment opportunities leaves many users underserved.…”

This paper reports relationships between methamphetamine use and behaviors and social influences using data from a population-based survey of 8th- and 11th-grade students in Oregon for the 2001–2003 school years. We analyze methamphetamine use within a general problem behavior framework to identify malleable correlates of behavior for future prevention interventions. We specifically test two models of methamphetamine use employing logistic regression analysis: one comprised of behaviors and traits of the individual students and another focusing on peer and parental influences. This study finds adolescent methamphetamine use related to several problem behaviors. However, the specific problems vary by grade and are moderated by gender. Findings indicate the need for tailored interventions targeting gender/grade-specific behaviors or problems such as antisocial activities, risky sex, and depression, as well as social influences such as peers engaging in antisocial behaviors or using drugs and parents favoring drug use or poorly monitoring or setting limits for their children.

“…Risk to children can occur when a parent is obtaining or producing a substance, under the influence of a substance, or withdrawing from the effects of a substance. Unsafe storage of substances can also lead to harm to children (Hart & Powell, 2006;Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City Area Child Protection Committees, 2004;Otero et al, 2006;SCODA, 1997;Tamlyn, 2008). .…”

Parental substance use disorders (SUDs) for Māori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand and an ethnic minority, are considered to be contributors to adverse effects on outcomes for their children. This article offers a review of international and Aotearoa literature in regard to key considerations for Māori parents with SUDs who present to an Alcohol and Drug specialist for assessment and treatment. Factors to increase positive outcomes for Māori children of parents with SUDs are promoted. Effective adult AoD services provide support to parents with SUDs through comprehensive assessment and intervention plans that consider both individual and familial risk and protective factors. In this context, it is imperative that possible child welfare issues are identified early to ensure prevention or intervention. The AoD workforce must have the knowledge and skills to facilitate access to other relevant sectors, such as education, employment, and housing. An AoD workforce that is effective with Māori must not only have these abilities, but also have at least some basic knowledge and skills in Whānau Ora philosophy and Whānau-centered best practice. To address these processes, AoD specialist services need to acquire a set of knowledge and skills. These include increasing the knowledge and skills associated with the realities of lifestyles centered in low socioeconomic communities and co-occurring issues that contribute to poor health outcomes. To assist Māori, several key processes are proposed. This includes working in a Whānau-centered approach with Whānau as a collective entity, based on Māori foundations; understanding intergenerational dynamics; and endorsing a group capacity for self-determination. Research and training in Whanau ora philosophy and Whānau-centered best practices will be essential for developing an appropriate AoD workforce, which would provide the foundations for improving AoD service delivery for Māori parents with SUDs.

“…Women represent a larger portion of users of methamphetamine than of alcohol, cocaine, heroin, or marijuana users (SAMHSA, 2005) and are likely to be involved with child welfare services if they have young children (Otero, Boles, Young, & Dennis, 2006). In the IDEAL study more than 5% of women living in a high use area reported having used methamphetamine during their pregnancy and these women were more likely to be single parents, less educated, and had received less prenatal care .…”

“…A comprehensive assessment including a medical examination to assess exposure to drugs and toxic chemicals as well as other health needs may be needed (Otero et al, 2006). Accidental ingestion of methamphetamine or exposure to fumes from manufacture can cause side-effects such as breathing difficulties, heart palpitations, vomiting, irritability, and agitation in children (Hohman et al, 2004;Otero et al, 2006). Ongoing medical care will likely be necessary if toxic exposure, abuse, or malnutrition is present.…”
