![]() Description of the InterventionsĪ diverse array of psychosocial interventions have been applied to treat substance use disorders, particularly for amphetamine users ( 12). Prolonged ATS misuse can cause mild to severe mental and physical disorders including malnutrition, aggression, sleep disorder, nervous stress, hallucinations, and psychosis ( 11). The purity and chemical composition of ATS often are unclear ( 9, 10). ATS are highly addictive and can cause harm to physical, mental, and social health ( 7, 8). Further, the risks of ATS use are often underestimated ( 6). Although ATS are most used in Asia and North America, ATS are an attractive drug and associated with dynamic lifestyle of users. Therefore, the ATS market was considered complicated and uncontrollable. Particularly, ATS precursors with new types of chemical designs were outside of international control ( 5). However, there is a notable point at which the global quantities of ATS seizures (based on kilogramme equivalents and population growth) were highest among drugs from 2010 to 2018 ( 4). UNODC estimated that 27 million people used amphetamines and 21 million people used ecstasy in 2018 ( 3). ATS comprises two sub-groups: meth/amphetamine and ecstasy. Introduction Description of the ConditionĪmphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) are the second most common illegal drugs used globally after cannabis, and their usage has been spreading quickly in diverse populations ( 1, 2). Comprehensive and sustained psychosocial interventions can help to reduce use of ATS and other drugs, risk behaviours and mental disorders, and significantly improve treatment adherence. However, the additional of contingency management strategy can make an important improvement upon retention (RR 1.42, 95%CI: 1.25 to 1.62).Īuthors' Conclusions: Integrated models are more effective than a single-treatment strategy. (3) Compared to usual care, cognitive behavioural therapy was less likely to be retained at follow-up (RR 0.89, 95% CI: 0.82 to 0.97 high-quality evidence). The combination of therapies reduced 1.51 day using drugs in the preceding 30 days (95% CI: −2.36 to −0.67) compared to cognitive behavioural therapy intervention alone. The risk of unsafe sex in the psychosocial intervention group was lower than in the control group (RR 0.49, 95% CI: 0.34 to 0.71). Patients in psychological interventions used injectables substantially less. (2) In the supplemental meta-analysis, relative to usual care (only counselling or self-help materials), membership of a psychological intervention group was associated with an important reduction in drug usage. ![]() The key findings include: (1) There were conflicting results about the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions among reviews, which may confuse decision-makers in selecting treatment. Results: We included 11 systematic reviews of moderate to high quality and 39 primary studies which assessed the outcomes of psychosocial interventions on people who use ATS. ![]() Given the apparent incompleteness of the included reviews, we undertook a supplemental meta-analysis of all eligible primary studies. Methods: We searched seven bibliographic databases to November 2020 for systematic reviews examining ATS misuse treatment by psychosocial interventions. ![]() The objective of this overview of systematic reviews is to summarise trial results of psychosocial interventions and describe their efficacy and safety. Introduction: Amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) use is a global concern due to increased usage and the harm to physical, mental, and social well-being. 5Institute for Community Health Research, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hue University, Hue, Vietnam.4Faculty of Law, Australian Centre of Health Law Research, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, QLD, Australia. ![]() 3Nursing and Midwifery Faculty, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi, Vietnam.2Center for Training and Research on Substance Abuse-HIV, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi, Vietnam.1Faculty of Health, School of Public Health and Social Work, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, QLD, Australia.Mai Thi Ngoc Tran 1,2,3 *, Quang Hung Luong 1 *, Giang Le Minh 2, Michael P. ![]()
