Résumé : |
ENGLISH : Introduction: In 2002 the National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse commissioned a consultation exercise to help identify future research priorities. An overview of UK research published in the journal Addiction Abstracts contributed to this. Method: Using a Microsoft Access database, two reviewers systematically profiled all 840 UK abstracts published between 1994 and 2001. The database included 72 fields for each abstract and a coding framework of predefined options. Results: Fifty-seven percent (n = 482) of the 840 abstracts reported studies involving licit substances, of which 65% discussed alcohol and 30% covered tobacco/nicotine. Sixty-three percent (n=530) covered illicit substances, a high proportion of which described non-specific drug use such as 'general drug use' (32%) or 'injecting' (16%), rather than individual substances. Heroin was the most common substance specified (8%). Few of the 840 abstracts focused upon subjects with predefined demographic characteristics: 8% detailed single gender studies; 2% reported an ethnic focus. Subgroup surveys were the most frequent research method adopted (32%); 15% described literature reviews, and 7% were 'laboratory experimental'. Two percent of studies were identified as randomized controlled trials. Conclusion: Our research presents a useful profile of published UK research and provides a focus for reflection and debate on future priorities. (Author's abstract.) |
