OBJECTIVES: This study examines the associations between ten family structure types and delinquency, including four groups of symmetrical and asymmetrical living arrangements. We also adjust for attachment to parents and parental monitoring. METHODS: Data are drawn from four cross-sectional surveys conducted between 2016 and 2019 in southern Sweden. The sample consists of 3,838 adolescents, aged 1
Fatal opioid overdoses usually occur without anyone being present and able to intervene. Knowledge of the presence of witnesses is important for how naloxone programs should be designedDrug mortality has increased in Sweden during the 2000s. The vast majority of deaths are opioid overdoses. The National Board of Health and Welfare recommends that the antidote naloxone and a brief overdose educatio
Objective: Family members of a person with drug addiction often experience negative impacts on their lives and face barriers to seeking professional support. More knowledge is needed about such barriers so they can be reduced. This article examines the help-seeking experiences of parents of adult children with drug addiction, a group that has received little attention in research. Method: We condu
This contribution discusses relations between the Swedish SAC and the legislature (Riksdag), focusing on how Sweden balances popular sovereignty with judicial independence. The analysis focuses on the legislature's influence on the SAC and – on the other hand – the SAC and its judges’ impact on the legislature, especially the constitutional control of draft legislation carried out by the Council oThis contribution discusses relations between the Swedish SAC and the legislature (Riksdag), focusing on how Sweden balances popular sovereignty with judicial independence.

This study examines whether unstructured and structured activities interact in their association with delinquency and cannabis use. We hypothesize that unstructured activities are more strongly associated with delinquency and cannabis use for those who are less engaged in structured activities. Data are drawn from three nationally representative self-report studies conducted between 2005 and 2011
Forskning är en komplex process som ifrågasätter, undersöker och utvecklar nya aspekter av världen. På så sätt rör sig forskningsfälten hela tiden framåt. Forskningens rön och resultat sprids sedan på många sätt, till exempel genom vetenskaplig publicering, samverkan, forskarnätverk eller genom utställningar. I denna utställning presenterar biblioteket forskning från Malmö universitets fem fakulte
Background Illicit use of methadone and buprenorphine has been described as a growing problem in Sweden in recent years, and has been associated with an increased drug-related mortality. Critics claim that the substances have become popular among adolescents and that they function as a gateway to heroin use. The aim of this study is to investigate, firstly, the extent to which illicit use of metha
Background In this study we examine whether the association between internet use and drinking could be different for different types of internet activities among adolescents. We also adjust for a number of theoretically relevant factors such as peer influence, unstructured activities, impulsivity and parental monitoring. Method The data are drawn from four cross-sectional surveys from the years 20
Efter att kostnaderna för den svenska sjukförsäkringen skjutit i höjden vann bilden av de sjukskrivna som fuskare och inbillningssjuka mark i början av 2000-talet. Vad som inte kom fram i debatten var att antalet nya sjukskrivna faktiskt inte hade ökat särskilt mycket. Istället var det rehabiliteringsarbetet ute på arbetsplatserna som hade havererat, med allt längre långtidssjukskrivningar som res
Under de första åren av 2000-talet betraktades ”den galopperande sjukfrånvaron” som en av de absolut viktigaste frågorna i den välfärdspolitiska debatten. En mängd aktörer förde fram olika (och ibland konkurrerande) uppfattningar om problemet, dess orsaker och tänkbara lösningar. Sådana skeenden brukar kallas problemdefinieringsprocesser och har stor betydelse, både för vilka frågor som hamnar på
Background It is well known that illicit use of methadone and buprenorphine is common among people with an opioid dependence. Less notice has been taken of the fact that these substances are also used for extended periods of self-treatment, as a way of handling barriers to OST. In this study, motives for self-treatment are investigated, as well as attitudes and perceived barriers to OST among drug
Sedan tidigt nittiotal har Bengt Svensson varit en högaktiv forskare i socialt arbete. Hans avhandling Pundare, jonkare och andra: Med narkotikan som följeslagare är en modern klassiker inom den etnografiska missbruksforskningen. Respektfullt och med stor noggrannhet förmedlar han en förståelse för en grupp människor som av många bara ses som ”knarkare” eller samhällsproblem. Bengt Svenssons forsk
