Alcohol & Drug Use

Alcohol and drug use in children and adolescents is prevalent, threatens health and has long term adverse consequences. Adolescent habits tend to continue into adulthood and can impact future generations through substance use in pregnancy and by undermining family life. We are Australia's major team contributing to knowledge of how to reduce pathways to harmful alcohol and drug use and successful developers and evaluators of effective prevention approaches.
