Rehab News: NIDA Explores Exercise as Drug Abuse Prevention Tool

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in America, recently held a conference to explore a possible role for physical activity in substance abuse prevention. As part of this effort, NIDA announced a $4 million grant initiative to spur further research on this emerging area of investigation.

"Exercise has been shown to be beneficial in so many areas of physical and mental health," said Dr. Nora Volkow, NIDA Director. "This cross-disciplinary meeting is designed to get scientists thinking creatively about its potential role in substance abuse prevention."

More than 100 scientists from around America gathered for the two-day conference. The goals of the meeting were:

To share the state of the science in epidemiology, basic science, and intervention research-focused on physical activity as a strategy to prevent substance abuse;
To facilitate development and testing of new paradigms for prevention; and
To promote future research in these areas.

Presentations focused on the importance of the social context in which physical activity occurs, including school and the natural environment, as well as the relationship of physical activity to physical disorders (obesity), social reward structures (motivation), cognition (attention, impulse control and other motor skills), and mood disorders (depression, stress), all of which may play a role in substance abuse. To facilitate research on the role of exercise, attendees will also learn about and see demonstrations of tools that assess physiological responses to exercise and physical activity.

Survey of Hispanics and alcohol dependence to be expanded

A large survey conducted by researchers at The University of Texas School of Public Health Dallas Regional Campus, which examined alcohol abuse and dependence among Hispanic male populations in the United States, will be expanded to Mexican males living along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Researchers will survey 1,500 Mexican-American males living on the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California to examine their alcohol consumption and behaviour. This research will ...

then be compared with the sample of 1,500 Mexican Americans in Los Angeles and Houston who were surveyed as part of previous research.

"The border population is particularly interesting because it is exposed to underage drinking options, with Mexico's legal drinking age being 18," says Raul Caetano, M.D., Ph.D., regional dean of the UT School of Public Health Dallas Regional Campus. "Along with age, we will be considering other factors such as religious affiliation, the Mexican culture's influence, the cost of drinking and male/female behaviour comparisons."

The researchers will explore the difference in the Mexican border population as compared to that of the non-border population. The acculturation of the non-border population will also be considered as a factor when examining Catholic or Protestant religious affiliation.

The original survey was funded by a $5 million grant from the NIH and examined various Hispanic populations in the United States and their rate of alcohol consumption. In the first survey, the Mexican-American and Puerto Rican populations had higher rates of alcohol dependence than South Central and Cuban Americans. For instance, Mexican and Puerto Ricans men had a 15 percent rate of alcohol dependence, whereas Cubans and South Central Americans showed 5 percent and 9 percent dependence, respectively. As a whole, the U.S. male population has 5 percent alcohol dependence

Sharp rise in those receiving alcohol treatment in Wales

The number of people being treated for alcohol problems in the South Wales Valleys has risen by more than 40 per cent in the past year, according to new figures released by the NHS in Wales.

Last year, 15,415 people were treated for alcohol misuse in the region – up from 10,899 the year before, the Western Mail reports.

Commenting on the figures, Welsh Assembly member Mark Isherwoo said: "Much more needs to be done to help those suffering with drug and alcohol misuse problems.

"The lives of vulnerable people across the Valleys are being wrecked by drug and alcohol abuse.

"Drug and alcohol abusers need treatment, training, housing and an introduction to the workplace."

The Welsh Assembly government said alcohol and drug treatment was a priority and an extra £9.6 million has been allocated for such over the next three years.
