“…Community interest may be substantially higher. Recently, tailoring programs have received attention (Alexander et al, 2008). "Tailoring" refers to the creation of interventions that utilize information about a given individual to determine what specific content s/he will receive, the contexts surrounding that information, by whom it will be presented and the way it will be delivered (Hawkins et al, 2008).…”

“…Furthermore, the majority of treatment programs indicate that minorities constitute the majority of clients in these programs (Alexander et al, 2008). Evidence indicates that ethnic minorities often enter treatment with limited social and economic resources and numerous co-occurring problems when compared with Euro Americans, potentially resulting in reduced access to and quality of care (Arciniega et al, 1996;Caetano & Schafer, 1996;Arroyo et al, 1998;Wells et al, 2001).…”

Use and preferences for substance abuse treatment can vary by ethnicity. However, little is known about use and preferences among Native Hawaiians and Asian Americans. Interviews from 192 admitted multi-ethnic residents from two treatment facilities in Hawaii were conducted. More similarities than differences were found. The most utilized treatments were Alcoholics Anonymous and the emergency department, with no significant ethnic differences. However, Native Hawaiians and Asian Americans were significantly less likely to have spoken to a mental health provider about alcohol problems (32%, 39%, respectively vs. 69% of Euro Americans) and to have seen a physician for a drinking-related problem (21% of Native Hawaiians and 19% of Asian Americans vs. 41% of Euro Americans). Native Hawaiians were significantly more likely to consider marriage counselling to be an effective form of treatment (33% vs. 11% of Asian Americans and 9% of Euro Americans). Implications for substance abuse treatment are discussed. The findings suggest that it is important to integrate the field of substance abuse in multiple systems; including substance abuse, medical, criminal, social service and community settings to ensure treatment preferences are met. Ethnic differences may also have implications for expanding and tailoring services.

“…As noted above, formalized intake and assessment procedures, as well as the use of clinical treatment guidelines, also may influence the provision of C&T services (Strauss, Des Jarlais, & Vassilev, 2003;Alexander, Nahra, Lemak, Pollack, and Campbell, 2008). Formal intake and assessment procedures are likely to include health-status assessments, which, in turn, are likely to require HIV testing.…”

Issues. The dramatic increase in methamphetamine use has led to the urgent need for high-quality, effective treatments and management strategies for methamphetamine use problems to be developed and disseminated. Although some evidence exists for the use of psychological, pharmacological and other approaches to treatment for problematic methamphetamine use, other evidence suggests that many methamphetamine users do not access these treatment options due to a range of individual and service-level barriers. Approach. A review of available research literature was undertaken to identify treatment strategies for methamphetamine users, which overcome the problems associated with treatment access for this important target group and involve technological and other innovative approaches. Key Findings. Several approaches to addressing problematic methamphetamine use have been suggested, including assertive engagement strategies, flexibility in the provision of treatment and retention strategies and use of a multi-focused intervention package, such as stepped care, perhaps including new technologies as alternatives or supplements to face-to-face-delivered treatments. No research currently exists to examine the possible benefit of these strategies for people with methamphetamine use problems. Implications. The use of stepped-care intervention packages has the potential to address many of the current challenges faced by both clinicians and clients in treating methamphetamine use problems. Conclusions. Although promising, these approaches require further attention and research effort, particularly among the specific group of methamphetamine users. [Kay-Lambkin FJ.
