Résumé : |
Both alcohol and illicit drugs are among the top ten risk factors for mortality and morbidity in Europe and substance misuse by older people is now a growing public health problem. Between 2001 and 2031, there is projected to be a 50% increase in the number of older people in the UK. The percentage of men and women drinking more than the weekly recommended limits has also risen, by 60% in men and 100% in women between 1990 and 2006 (NHS Information Centre, 2009). Given the likely impact of these two factors on health and social care services, there is now a pressing need to address substance misuse in older people.
This report has brought together a group of health professionals with expertise in substance misuse in older people, whose remit it has been to develop the existing knowledge base according to the following terms of reference: • examining the nature and extent of substance misuse in older people • identifying precipitants and complications • highlighting best-practice guidance • exploring training opportunities • developing future strategy, encompassing clinical service provision and developments, training and education, research, and policy. |
