99 6. Health correlates and questions. 6.1 Drug related deaths. Deaths associated with drug abuse constitute one of the five key indicators, identified by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addictions (EMCDDA) in Lisbon, for formulating and evaluating policies on drug addiction. This phenomenon reveals itself in Italy in various ways depending on the source. ISTAT measures drug related deaths through the General Mortality Register, which is currently updated as far as 2002 regarding deaths directly attributed to substance abuse (according to the IDC9 classification). The institutes of legal medicine carry out toxicological investigations in order to find the cause of death whether directly or indirectly due to drug abuse (these inquests are conducted only at the explicit request of magistrates, who can entrust the task to various branches of the institutes of legal medicine, particularly since not all institutes are attached to Italian universities). Lastly, the DCSA (Central Anti-drug Services Department) holds drug related death records through the Special Register of Deaths at the Interior Ministry. This third register is evidence-based and refers to cases of deaths which are directly attributable to drugs (where there is clear proof of an overdose) where the police have been involved, as opposed to cases where death was caused indirectly as a result of drugs (such as road accidents due to the driver being under the influence of drugs or fatalities associated with pathological complications due to substance abuse). As such these records at present constitute the principal and most up-todate source of data. Analysis of the information provided by the DCSA reveals that in 2005 there were 603 cases of death by acute intoxication from drugs, a figure in line with the previous year (600 cases). Most significantly, it can be seen that in this last two year period there has been a noticeable increase in such deaths, giving rise to an upturn in the progressively decreasing trend shown in the period 1996 to 2003 (see Graph 6.1). Graph 6.1: Distribution by gender of drug related deaths, F M Source: Based on data from Interior Ministry (DCSA) data. Males consistently represent at least 9 of the total deaths occurring in each year, except for 2003, in which, notwithstanding the fact that that year recorded the lowest number of deaths of the decade, around 12% were women (amounting to 63 out of a total of 517 for that year). From 1996 to 2005 there were no records in the DCSA register of overdose related deaths in youths under 15, whereas 15 to 19 year olds represented two to 3% of the total. Deaths from overdoses among 20 to 35 year olds, which in 1996 amounted to 75% of the total, reduced over time and in 2005 constituted 45%. At the same time the number of fatal overdoses in the over 35 group increased, rising from around 22% to 53% of the total (see Graph 6.2). /

100 Graph 6.2: Percentage distribution of drug related deaths, according to age group, > Source: Based on data from Interior Ministry (DCSA) data. It is therefore evident that, over time, the average age of death has increased, rising substantially from 30 in 1996 to 35 in 2005 (see Graph 6.3). Significantly, separating the results by age illustrates that women have a lower average age of death than men in all but the first and last years of the period, in which the average ages for men and women coincided. Graph 6.3: Distribution by gender of average age of death, average age ALL average age M average age F Source: Based on data from Interior Ministry (DCSA) data. The cause of death in 254 cases was attributed to heroin (of which more than half occurred at home and around 17% in the street), in 43 cases cocaine (of which 42% at home, around 19% in the street and 14% in hospital), in 4 cases methadone and in 1 case amphetamines; in half the cases (301) the substance was not recorded. There were 30 foreign nationals (three of which were of unknown origin) among the deceased in 2005, equating to 5% of deaths per annum. This was lower than the previous year when the figure was 7% (41 foreign nationals, 11 of unknown origin). Map 6.1: Regional distribution of overdose related deaths, 2005 rates x 10,000 3

101 Source: Based on data from Interior Ministry (DCSA) data. " 3 % 8 ". The official statistics which refer exclusively to sudden death directly associated with drug abuse do not take into account either those situations in which drugs have indirectly led to death, such as accidents or pathological causes, or those cases where the police were not involved in the investigation. The cause of death was established through toxicological investigations or post mortems only in some cases if requested by the magistrate. There is therefore inevitably an underestimation of this phenomenon. Analysis of the information provided by the DCSA reveals that in 2005 there were 603 cases of death by acute intoxication from drugs, a figure in line with the previous year (600 cases). Most significantly, it can be seen that in this last two year period there has been a noticeable increase in such deaths, giving rise to an upturn in the progressively decreasing trend shown in the period 1996 to The cause of death in 254 cases was attributed to heroin (of which more than half occurred at home and around 17% in the street), in 43 cases cocaine (of which 42% at home, around 19% in the street and 14% in hospital), in 4 cases methadone and in 1 case amphetamines; in half the cases (301) the substance was not recorded. 5% of the deceased were foreign nationals. Umbria and Lazio were the regions with the highest rates of fatal overdose. 4

102 6.2 Drug related infectious diseases The prevalence of infectious diseases among drug addicts has also been identified by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addictions (EMCDDA) in Lisbon as one of the key indicators for monitoring illegal substance usage. The data used for the Italian study was supplied by the Health information System (SIS) of the Ministry of Health and is based on patients using drug addiction treatment services (Drug Addiction Reporting Activities, files ANN.04, ANN.05, ANN.06). HIV/AIDS In the course of 2005, 496 testing centres out of 550 (9 of the total in Italy) submitted data in time for the current report, yielding a sample size of 65,848 tests. It should be borne in mind that the number of subjects tested for the HIV virus among Ser.T users is also relevant for monitoring the development of HIV support services in general at both a local and national level. Around 43% of Ser.T users (a population which includes both new patients and those already undergoing treatment in previous years) were tested for the HIV virus and 13.8% of those tested positive.

In the course of 2005, in all centres across Italy, 61,396 hepatitis B tests were carried out, constituting some 37.8% of the total number of patients at Ser.T. Of these, 41.7% tested positive. Graph 6.12 indicates that there was more intensive testing among existing patients compared with new patients (43% versus 3), but there were no substantial differences between the sexes (approximately 4 of both males and females were tested).,03%-' '1!""1 $!0"0 &!'!" 5 45% 4 35% % The 2 cost of this vaccine is 19 per dose, three being required for a course of treatment (Source: International Vaccine Service, Rome) 15% 1 5% New clients Existing clients New clients Existing clients MALE FEMALE %%

108 account, it is worth noting the particularly low percentage of females vaccinated compared with males in the existing users group (see Graph 6.14). This gives a clear indication on where the focus of future testing and prevention measures should be concentrated. Considering the trend over the period 2001 to 2005, the percentage of subjects tasting positive appears to be dropping in 2005 although the levels themselves are considerably high (see Graph 6.15).,03/-'00"70&$! 0" %++A%++/ ,5 43,4 43,2 43,7 41,8 30 % ))* *I / *I,0 33- $!"'

110 Again for patients who tested positive for hepatitis C, the data for 2005 (see Graph 6.20) shows that opiate abuse is associated with almost all cases (89% for new patients, 97% for existing patients). It can also be seen that cocaine users constitute 1 of new patients testing positive for this disease. Graph 6.20: Percentage distribution, by primary substance of abuse, of opioids cocaine cannabinoids other hepatitis C positive subjects among new and existing users at Ser.T in 7 FINDINGS In 2005, a number of patients accessing national services for drug addiction were tested for HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Of these, 13.8% were HIV positive, 41.7% tested positive for hepatitis B and 61.4% tested positive for hepatitis C. Relative to 2001, the percentages of those testing positive for the three diseases (14.8% for HIV, 43.5% for hepatitis B and 66.3% for hepatitis C in 2001) have reduced slightly. HIV positive addicts have an average age of 40. Almost all existing HIV positive patients at Ser.T (89%) were opiate users. Among new patients however, only around 5 of subjects were opiate users, whereas 4 declared cocaine as the primary substance. Cocaine users for all tree diseases either opiate new clients existing clients take the drug intravenously or additionally inject opiates. For patients testing positive to hepatitis B, there was a strong concentration, among both new and existing users, of opiate abuse which exceeded 85% in both categories. Cocaine use affected 15% of new patients. A similar picture emerges for hepatitis C patients where very high numbers (89% for new patients and 97% for existing patients) were opiate users and 1 of new subjects used cocaine. The cost of diagnostic and therapeutic treatment 10 for the diseases under consideration, in addition to the social costs due to many patients affected by chronic hepatitis B and C developing into cirrhosis 11, serves to underline the necessity for both constant monitoring of the conditions and a major 10 DRG 205M7: Liver conditions excluding neoplasia, malignancy, cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis.

Personnel involved in this field need training in order to implement the required measures for prevention and reduction of damage, to help prevent the spread of infection and to improve the quality of life of sick patients Infections in prisons From the standard tables issued in 2005, it can be seen that 89,887 individuals entered prison, of which 25,541 were evaluated as addicts. This year the Department of Penitentiary Administration has provided, in addition to the standard data, information for each subject from a non-random sample on the status of his or her addiction. The sample consists of 8,180 prisoners entering the system during 2005 (the sample encompasses 32% of the total population of prisoners with known addictions). Of these prisoners, 4,878 (6) were affected by infectious diseases. 4% of the sample group were women and 31% were foreign nationals. 17% of the subjects were considered to have a history of opiate abuse, 21% cocaine, and less than 1% benzodiazepine or alcohol, while 61% were listed as being multiple users (in 65% of cases with heroin and cocaine). 41% of males with infectious conditions were aged between 25 and 34 years old, while 3 were 35 to 44. The age distribution among women prisoners was 33% between 25 and 34 and 31% aged 35 to 44. The youngest age group included similar percentages for both males and females (18% and 19% respectively). In the older age groups there was a higher percentage of women: the 45 to 54 band included 13% women as against 9% men and the over 55s consisted of 5% females versus 2% males.,03%-$!"''1!!"!"':$$"'1 $" 45% 4 35% 3 25% 2 15% 1 5% >54 Male Female Source: Based on data from the Justice Ministry, Department of Penitentiary Administration For both the Italian and the foreign addicts in the sample group entering prison in 2005, the age group with the highest number of subjects suffering from infectious diseases was 25 to 34, with 44% of foreign nationals and 39% of Italians.

115 6.3 Psychiatric co-morbidity Co-morbidity within drug addiction services among mentally disturbed patients and patients disturbed by substance abuse Planning of treatment programmes for subjects who present disturbed behaviour from psychotropic substance use/abuse must take into account the requirement to evaluate the concomitant presence of other psychiatric conditions, since these may influence the process and outcome of such treatment. The fact that it is impossible among subjects with psychiatric co-morbidity to separate the psycho-pathological disturbance from that associated with the dependence, requires a different type of organisation and further specialisation among professionals in specialist services. As regards public services in Italy, these new requirements manifest themselves in the following organisational changes: - The presence of a psychiatrist at the centre - Collaboration with the Mental Health Department - Treatment programmes and rehabilitation courses specifically adapted for patients with this type of double diagnosis The therapy community is also interested in these changes as shown by the existence of a specialist service for users with psychiatric disturbances. From the SIMI Italia study carried out this year on a sample representing national specialised services, it emerges that 62.1% of Ser.Ts have one psychiatrist, either within the organisation or contracted in with an office at the centre. Allowing for the fact that one psychiatrist can work for more than one Ser.T, the percentage of centres which have at least one psychiatrist available for patients with psychiatric problems rises to 69% (see Graph 6.26). Graph 6.26: Clinical psychiatrists in drug addiction services Psychiatrist in SerT's staff Psychiatrist within Ser.T staff SerT w ith a consulting Psychiatrist in the Department's Ser.T with consulting staff psychiatrist on department In the case of the therapy community, the data collected in the SIMI Italia project shows that 16.7% of therapists have a specialist service for users who are psychiatrically disturbed, 22.2% have recourse to an external specialist and 61.1% do not provide this service as standard but may be able to seek occasional external help (see Graph 6.27). )

116 Graph 6.27: Psychiatric treatment available in the therapy community external consultant 22,2% Not planned 61,1% internal psychiatrist 16,7% The presence of a psychiatrist at a centre is far from the only requirement for supporting patients with associated psychiatric problems. For this reason synergies and collaboration with the infrastructure and staff of the Mental Health Department are considered to be of paramount importance. In the sample study on national specialist services, drug addiction centres were surveyed on the extent to which they have a structured collaboration with mental health services. As shown in Graph 6.28, 48.3% of the sample confirmed that they enjoy structured cooperation with the mental health department, whilst in 27.6% of Ser.Ts there is some working together albeit on a less formalised basis. Only a quarter of the sample (24.1%) either stated that there was no collaboration or did not respond to the question. Graph 6.28: Collaboration between Ser.T and the Mental Health Department Does not Does not exists 15,5% Did Do not answ er not 8,6% Not structured 27,6% Structured Therefore, if it is considered that there are Ser.Ts in which there is an in-house psychiatrist, in addition to those which have an active collaboration with the Department of Mental Health, the percentage of centres which are able to offer psychiatric support to patients with a double diagnosis rises to 82.7% of the sample. In this group of Ser.Ts, therapy and rehabilitation programmes specifically aimed at subjects with a double diagnosis are offered by 95.2% of centres (see Graph 6.29). )%

Ser.T s without SENZA specific programmi programmes specifici The specifics of the treatment which double-diagnosis patients undergo can be seen by studying the frequency of psychiatric sessions which supplement the activities of the multidisciplinary team. Graph 6.30 indicates how often a double-diagnosis patient encounters a physiatrist for an interview or for psychotherapy. In particular it can be seen that in 62.5% of cases a patient sees a psychiatrist for an interview more than twice a month and in 5 of the surveyed centres the patient visits a specialist for psychotherapy two or more times per month.

Financed by the National Department for Anti-Drugs Policies, Prime Minister s Office. 13 Of the 216 DSMs in Italy, 78 participated in the survey.

122 ., The prevalence of double-diagnosis patients under the care of Italian mental health departments amounts to 1.31% with considerable geographical variation throughout the country. The prima facie evidence supports the hypothesis that the socio-cultural context, in addition to factors intrinsic to the conditions, influence the rates of co-morbidity between psychiatric disorders and substance use. Alcohol is the most widespread substance of abuse or dependence, a statistic which is in line with European and international trends. )
