Research Interests

Alcohol and other drug use is a major public health issue, costing the Australian community an estimated $55 billion per annum. While injecting drug use is associated with numerous health and social harms (accounting for the vast majority of hepatitis C infections and fatal drug overdoses), there is a renewed focus in Australia on alcohol use and its related harms. The Centre for Population Health conducts research designed to measure the nature and extent of alcohol and other drug use over time, with a view to developing effective policy responses. This work is done in collaboration with colleagues from other institutions in Australia and overseas.
