Maria-mottagningarna i Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö - Ungdomar i öppenvård år 2013
- 2014
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Trestad2 är en nationell satsning där de tre städerna Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö samarbetar för att minska användandet av cannabis bland ungdomar. Inom ramen för projektet har det skapats en modell för att identifiera och följa trender i de tre storstäderna vad gäller droganvändning och psykosocial situation för ungdomar som påbörjar behandling för missbruksproblem. Framtagandet av relevanta indikatorer har skett i nära samarbete mellan praktiker och forskare utifrån en sammanvägning av forskningsmässiga, metodologiska och kliniskt betydelsefulla utgångspunkter. Underlaget utgörs av uppgifter om 788 ungdomar som inledde öppenvårdsbehandling vid någon av städernas Maria-mottagningar under år 2013 och har inhämtats med intervjumetoden UngDOK.Sammanställningen av indikatorer visar att flickor utgör cirka en fjärdedel av det totala antalet ungdomar som påbörjar öppenvård för problem med alkohol eller narkotika. Ungdomarnas medianålder när vårdkontakten inleds är 17 år och mer än hälften av ungdomarna har kommit i kontakt med Maria-mottagningarna via eget eller nätverkets initiativ. Nästan två tredjedelar av ungdomarna uppger att de har eller har haft omfattande problem under sin skolgång och cirka en tiondel av ungdomarna varken studerar, arbetar eller praktiserar. Drygt tre fjärdedelar av ungdomarna anger cannabis som sin primära drog, men nästan hälften av dem har även en riskfylld alkoholkonsumtion. Den genomsnittliga debutåldern för den primära drogen är 15 år. Ungefär en fjärdedel av ungdomarna har tidigare fått vård och behandling för alkohol- eller narkotikaproblem. Förekomsten av besvärliga uppväxtvillkor är hög hos ungdomarna och över hälften av dem har erfarenheter av att ha växt upp med våld, psykiska problem och/eller missbruk i familjen. Drygt en tredjedel av samtliga ungdomar har eller har haft kontakt med den psykiatriska vården.Vissa skillnader mellan de tre städernas Maria-mottagningar kan identifieras. Ungdomarna som påbörjar kontakt med mottagningen i Stockholm verkar ha problem av något lindrigare art jämfört med Göteborg och Malmö och utgör mindre andelar både när det gäller komplicerande bakgrundsfaktorer och nuvarande problembeteenden. Det finns även mindre skillnader i åldersstrukturen i de tre städerna, där Stockholm har fler ungdomar under 18 år medan både Göteborg och Malmö har fler som är över 18 år. Det finns även vissa könsskillnader genom att flickorna i samtliga tre städer tycks ha en tyngre problematik i jämförelse med pojkarna. Flickorna saknar i högre grad sysselsättning, anger oftare problem i skolan, har haft svårare uppväxtvillkor och har i större utsträckning haft kontakt med psykiatrin i jämförelse med pojkarna.Att sammanställa och rapportera deskriptiva indikatorer om individer som påbörjar behandling för alkohol- och narkotikaproblem kan ha flera fördelar. En sådan är att informationen kan ligga till grund för en ökad förståelse av ungdomars alkohol- och narkotikaanvändning och dess omfattning. Även om rapportens uppgifter inte är heltäckande, beskriver den en större population av svenska ungdomar med en problematisk användning av alkohol och droger. Föreliggande rapport är således en första ansats till att ge en sammanfattande bild av de ungdomar som påbörjar behandling vid Maria-mottagningarnas öppenvård i Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö.

A pendulum swing in child welfare policy : the case of implementing GIRFEC in Sweden
- 2022
-
In: Nordic Social Work Research. - : Taylor & Francis Group. - 2156-857X .- 2156-8588. ; 12:4, s. 578-591

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Sweden is among those countries traditionally ranked highly in international comparisons of children’s well-being and conditions for development. However, in recent years a development towards greater inequality in health has occurred. The general welfare model’s capacity to safeguard both the universal provisions for the general population’s standard of living and targeted support for those in need has also been doubted. System-related deficiencies such as collaborative breakdown, inadequate effectiveness and lack of clarity concerning how to uphold the best interests of the child are cited as examples, and several calls for policy reformations have been raised. The Scottish model for supporting child well-being, Getting It Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) has garnered keen interest in Sweden and is an example of how ideas for policy reformation flow both between and within countries, and thereby undergo more or less radical transformations. This article analyses the first-phase implementation of GIRFEC in a Swedish county. It emerges that although there is a great deal of enthusiasm for the original model, the intention is to implement an adapted version. What similarities and differences would be realized is not clarified from the start, but is left for the implementation process. The positive reception is understood as arising from a perceived familiarity of the model, based on current practice and discourse. GIRFEC can therefore be regarded as part of a pendulum swing in which ideas are borrowed and lent between countries and contexts.

Adolescents with substance abuse problems in outpatient treatment : a one-year prospective follow-up study
- 2021
-
In: Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. - : Sage Publications. - 1455-0725 .- 1458-6126. ; 38:5, s. 466-479
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Aim: There is a lack of knowledge about how adolescents with substance abuse problems manage after taking part in treatment. It is also difficult to perform traditional follow-up studies with this group. This article presents the outcome of a prospective study of 455 adolescents who underwent outpatient treatment, based on data taken from official registers. It aims to describe and analyse indications of continued use of substance (CUS) and how various risk and protective factors predict outcomes after initiated treatment at a Maria clinic in Sweden. Design: The study is based on structured interviews at intake, and the data that indicated CUS were taken from several different national registers. The analyses included descriptive data and bivariate associations, logistic regressions and a CHAID analysis. Results: Almost two thirds of the adolescents have no indication of CUS at one-year follow-up. The ten studied risk factors independently were weak predictors of CUS and it was instead the accumulation of risk factors that were linked to a negative outcome. Conclusion: The majority of adolescents who start outpatient treatment for substance abuse problems return to a lesser extent in registers that may indicate a continued problem with alcohol and drugs one year later. A concentration of more than five risk factors appears to be associated with a registration. The study also provides an example of an alternative method for following up adolescents with alcohol and drug abuse problems.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Denna artikel belyser hinder och möjligheter vid implementering av en screeningmetod för att identifiera spelproblem bland personer som uppbär försörjningsstöd inom socialtjänsten i Göteborg. Det empiriska underlaget samlades in via dels en undersökning av spelproblem med de två screen-inginstrumenten NODS och NODS-PERC, dels fem intervjuer med handläg-gare. Studien visar att det är möjligt att identifiera personer med spelproblem inom socialtjänsten med båda screeningintervjuerna, men åskådliggör även de svårigheter som förelåg vid implementeringen av detta nya arbetssätt inom socialtjänsten.

Criminality among young people with substance use problems in Sweden : A one-year follow-up study
- 2022
-
In: Journal of Drug Issues. - : Sage Publications. - 0022-0426 .- 1945-1369. ; 52:3, s. 406-420
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Swedish drug policy has a strong focus on minor drug violations. This longitudinal study analyses the association between criminality and substance use problems among young people who have received outpatient treatment and risk factors that predict continued problems with criminality. Research on this target group is under development in Sweden, but there are few follow-up studies. The study indicates that about one-quarters of the young people who begin outpatient treatment have been convicted of crimes at 1-year follow-up. Most of them who had been convicted with offences also have ongoing problems with substance use and three-quarters of the young people had been charged with a drug-related offence. More than five risk factors give an elevated risk of continued criminality. Interventions meeting the needs of young people, moving away from the current emphasis on penal law principles, may also contribute to reduced criminality in this target group.

Gender differences among adolescents with substance abuse problems at Maria clinics in Sweden
- 2018
-
In: Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. - : Sage Publications. - 1455-0725 .- 1458-6126. ; 35:1, s. 24-38
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Aim: The article describes similarities and differences regarding various risk factors between girls and boys with substance abuse problems who begin outpatient treatment at the Maria clinics in Sweden. Potential hypotheses and some implications are also discussed. Methods: This cross-sectional study was based on interview data from 2169 adolescents obtained over three years from outpatient clinics in 11 Swedish cities. Results: Girls appear to consistently have more difficult family and childhood environments than boys, and are more likely to have problems related to school, more serious substance abuse problems, and more severe mental health problems. Criminal activity is significantly higher among boys. Conclusions: The study shows that girls entering treatment generally have significantly more risk factors than boys and thus more extensive problems in several aspects of life, which in turn increases the risk of developing serious drug and alcohol problems in adulthood. The study supports the gender-paradoxical relationship in which a smaller proportion of girls than boys enter treatment for substance abuse, even though girls tend to have more problematic life situations.

Homelessness and Social Exclusion in Two Swedish Cities
- 2019
-
In: European Journal of Homelessness. - Brussels : Feantsa. - 2030-2762 .- 2030-3106. ; 13:1, s. 31-58
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this study is to describe the living conditions of homeless people in the cities of Gothenburg and Karlskrona in Sweden and to analyse their level of social inclusion and social exclusion. The empirical basis of the study was interview responses from 1 148 individuals in connection with initial contact with municipal housing programmes. The study clarifies that people in these programmes are a heterogeneous group in terms of gender, background and current living situation. A majority of the homeless people are living in difficult conditions and are in extremely exposed positions. Three different groups emerged in the analysis of the study population: individuals who are socially included (15%), marginalised (65%) or socially excluded (19%). The article also discusses the various groups’ discrete needs and their implications for preventive as well as more interventional actions on the political and practical levels.

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- School is one of the areas where social pedagogy has taken on an increasingly important function.Supported by available literature, the aim of this literature review is to describe and analyse how the workof social pedagogues in schools can be manifested. The literature review shows that social pedagogicalwork in schools is common in many countries and emerging in others. The study shows a wide variationboth between and within countries with regard to the mission and goals, status, role and function, tasksand activities of social pedagogues. The primary mission is inclusion of pupil groups or individualswith various types of psychosocial problems or school-related difficulties, followed by preventive workaimed at all pupils to counteract social exclusion in school, disciplining groups of pupils who are invarious ways disrupting or breaking school norms, a consciousness-raising and mobilising mission anda more general teaching mission aimed at citizenship and democratic upbringing. The literature reviewshows that social pedagogy as a profession enjoys high currency and relevance in schools with a view topreventing the segregation and exclusion of pupils.

Mer än varannan ungdom med alkohol- och narkotikaproblem i öppenvården har erfarenhet av utsatthet i barndomen
- 2019
-
In: Socialmedicinsk Tidskrift. - Stockholm : Karolinska Institutet. - 0037-833X. ; 96:6, s. 786-799

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Det finns idag få svenska studier som undersöker erfarenheter av utsattheti barndom hos ungdomar med drogproblem, särskilt inom öppenvården.Den här studien analyserade erfarenheter av försummelse och övergreppunder barndomen hos ungdomar (medelålder 18 år) som påbörjat öppenvårdsbehandlingför drogproblem. Resultaten visade att många ungdomarhade erfarenheter av försummelse och övergrepp i barndomen. Erfarenhetav utsatthet i barndomen var också relaterat till upplevda problem i uppväxtfamiljen,t.ex. ekonomiska svårigheter, missbruk, psykisk ohälsa och våld ifamiljen. Resultaten pekar på att det är angeläget att även utreda utsattheti barndomen bland ungdomar i behandling för drogproblem, särskilt då det idag finns god evidens för att psykiatrisk samsjuklighet (t.ex. traumareaktionoch drogproblem) bör behandlads samtidigt för att uppnå bäst effekt.
