Diffusion of drug use trends (i)
• Diffusion of Innovations Theory
Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system. (Rogers, 1962)
Diffusion is the acceptance, over time, of some specific item --an idea or practice-- by individuals, groups, or other adopting units, linked to specific channels of communication, to a social structure, and to a given system of values, or culture. (Katz , Levin & Hamilton, 1963)

Diffusion Theory: the Adaptation Curve
This is where we want to be!
![Page 6: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Diffusion of innovations: Factors & Processes
• Economic and cultural factors:
– E: prices, supply and purity of drugs
– C: (deviant) subculture around the non-medical use of drugs, with a distinctive set of values, language and norms around drug use
• Primary Diffusion
• Secondary Diffusion
• Virtual Diffusion (Online)
![Page 7: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Primary Diffusion
1. A new drug is introduced – Introduction through initial contacts between
producer/supplier and (potential) customer.
– Diffusion into personal network (peer group) of initial user.
![Page 8: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Secondary Diffusion
2. A new drug trend spreads beyond the initial consumers to different consumer groups.
• Two processes
– Micro diffusion
– Macro diffusion
![Page 9: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Secondary Diffusion
• Micro-diffusion: A drug and the associated cultural knowledge are spread between young people of different social groups by means of communication and exchange between individuals from different networks who live in close proximity to one another.
– Networks overlap in Shared Spaces: pubs, clubs, cafes, street corners, schools
– Thereupon the spread of new drug trends continues along similar lines of friendship and peer networks.
• Macro-diffusion or geographical diffusion supposes that new drug trends emerge in the most densely populated cities and towns, and gradually spread to less heavily populated areas.
– from the big cities – (cultural) capitals and port – to other cities, towns and rural areas.

The Ethnographic Toolbox 1.0
• Ethnographic Observation
• Bean Counting
• Informal and formal qualitative interviews
• Focus Groups
• Delphi Method
• Rapid Assessment & Response (RAR)
• Serendipity
![Page 11: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ethnographic Observation: W5
• What? developing observation protocols
• Who? engaging with relevant research participants
• Where? sampling relevant research sites
• When? activities may vary by both time and place
• Why? reasons for the observed behaviors
![Page 12: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Important Issues in Conducting Observational Research – Fieldwork in General
• “Outsiders” (Becker, 1963)
• Overcoming “Them and Us” – Engaging with communities under study
– Research alliances
– Community field workers / peer researchers
• Ethical standards & security issues – Academics & researchers – IRB review; legal status protection
of sources and I.D. data?; exposure to violence
– Peer researchers – idem, vulnerable to arrest, prosecution
– Contacts, informants and respondents – idem
• Technology creates new opportunities – E.g. surveillance camera footage
![Page 13: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Bean Counting
• Counting people, events, actions, etc.
• Counting single indicators
• Counting multiple indicators
• The M&M Method
![Page 14: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Informal and formal qualitative interviews
• Sampling of respondents – Time – location sampling – Snowball sampling – Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS)
• Gaining trust and report
"His business consisted largely of asking questions and necessarily he acquired much misinformation."
Jack Black – You Can't Win. Macmillan, 1926
– “Them and Us” – Privileged Access Interviewers (PAIs) “A good qualitative interview is, in the experience of the interviewee, like having a nice chat in a bar.”
![Page 15: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Focus Groups
• Brings together various stakeholders to generate and discuss information on a specific topic
• Allows for exploring consensus and dissent
• Needs a strong moderator, reporter, etc.
• Challenges:
– dominance of certain participants may skew data
– missing less dominant perspectives
![Page 16: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Delphi Technique
![Page 17: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Delphi Method
![Page 18: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Rapid Assessment & Response (RAR)
• RAR is not a single instrument, but rather a toolbox of different qualitative tools, such as the above.
• Used in situations where it is difficult to apply commonly used (semi) quantitative questionnaire-based evaluation and assessment methods.
• Several existing data sources are additionally used for triangulation.
• RAR helps to get fast information on cultural interpretations and meanings, on viewpoints of communities, and on needs of e.g. vulnerable groups.
![Page 19: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Serendipity
• That quality which, through good fortune and sagacity*, allows a person to discover something good while seeking something else
*: Sagacity (noun): personal alertness, awareness, and understanding; sagacious (adjective): having or showing understanding and the ability to make good judgments; wise
![Page 20: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Serendipity
“In the field of observation, chance favors only the prepared mind."
- Louis Pasteur
"Chance favors only those who know how to court her."
- Charles Nicolle

Diffusion of drug use trends (ii): Virtual (Online) Diffusion
• Example: Internet forum discussion between two young men in the Netherlands: – One was high on drug 2CT-7, a psychedelic
phenethylamine
– The other was interested in the drug, searched for information about it, but had not encountered it in his home town, Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, where probably all ‘classic’ drug trends of the previous century commenced.
– Anno 2012, the one high on the drug was living, in his own words, “somewhere in the neighbourhood of Groningen,” thus rural territory.
![Page 22: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Effects of Technology on Drug Trends
• Internet changed parameters of diffusion of drug trends – Changed how information on new drugs is acquired and spread – Destroyed monopoly on information of professionals, authorities – No longer need for F2F contact – Information moves much faster – Forums, “use groups” and other internet communities offer a safe
environment to discuss personal drug use of various sorts. – Proliferation of news media (hyping new drug use phenomena)
• Mobile phones drastically changed local drug markets – By 2000 ordering drugs for home delivery did not require more
than ordering a pizza.
• In the 1990s and early 2000s, Internet made Waiting for the Man obsolete. But, until recently, meeting in person continued to be a requirement for drug transactions!
![Page 23: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
No More Waiting for the Man • Drug markets are in flux • E-Commerce is altering the economic
environment of the diffusion of drug trends. – at this point, the Man is always available, he can be
contacted and transactions made 24-7 online – ordered drugs will be express mailed, inconspicuously
wrapped, to almost anywhere in the world.
• Silk Road, a glimpse of the future of drug markets?
• Serious challenges to drug epidemiology • Both economic and the sociocultural components
of drug diffusion theory in need of revision
![Page 24: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Rise of a New Dawn: New Psychoactive Substances
• 2012: 73 new synthetic drugs detected in the EU – Cannabinoids, cathinones,
psychedelics, other drugs
• Internet
• “Smart” shops
• Other outlets
![Page 25: Jpgrund ethno toolbox 2.0!](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051111/553884ee5503469f338b4810/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Recent Developments
• A polluted recreational drug market – 4-Methylamphetamine (4-MA) sold as speed – Methoxetamin sold as MDMA powder – Paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA) and Paramethoxymethamphetamin
(PMMA) in Ecstasy tablets
• NPS moving into PDU populations (NPS leading to problem drug use?) – Mephedrone injecting in UK, Romania – 5% NEP clients Prague inject NPS – “Baxtercaine”
• New drugs meet old habits: Synergy of harms? Potential for merging of different trends: home production and NPS – Sisa (homemade, smokable methampthetamine) in Greece – GHB in the Netherlands – Self-produced methcathinone (Jeff) in Krakow, Poland – made from
medications containing pseudoephedrine
