Background: Stimulant drugs are second only to cannabis as the most widely used class of illicit drug globally, accounting for 68 million past-year consumers. In Europe, according to the latest data of the EMCDDA’s European Drug Report 2022, surveys in 25 EU countries between 2016 and 2021 suggest that million young adults (15–34) used amphetamines during the last year ( % of this age group). More than 8 000 clients entering specialised drug treatment in Europe in 2020 reported amphetamine as their primary drug. About 3 700 of them were first-time clients. In addition, there are signals that availability and use of methamphetamine appears to be now, pharmacotherapy has not yielded convincing results for the treatment of problems related to the use of amphetamine and methamphetamine. However, there are promising results from agonist therapies (also known as substitution treatment) for stimulants and there are interesting new studies this webinar, we will begin our conversation with updates on the scientific research, discussing the results of the latest systematic reviews and also highlighting ongoing European studies. We will then bridge the gap between research and practice, learning from the experience of treating methamphetamine-related problems with prescription stimulants as well as identifying key policy and practice ;In conversation with:Vitor Tardelli, , psychiatrist, clinical fellow at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), University of Toronto, Canada and researcher at Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Unifesp), BrazilLars Thore Fadnes, Project leader ‘ATLAS4dependence’, University of Bergen, NorwayRoman Gabrhelík, Head of Research and Development, Department of Addictology (Addiction Medicine), First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, CzechiaJoan Ramon Villalbí, Government Delegate for the National Plan on Drugs, Ministry of Health, SpainChairperson: Iciar Indave, EMCDDAOpening and closing remarks: Alexis Goosdeel, EMCDDA Director (tbc)Format: EMCDDA opening remarks, panellists’ questions, guided discussion, Q&A Participants will respond to the following questions:What do systematic reviews say about the current evidence on the treatment of stimulant use?What are the current ongoing studies?
