Population Health
The Population Health Research Program investigates trends and emerging patterns of alcohol and other drug use and associated harms within and across populations at local, state and national levels.
We also examine contributing factors such as social, cultural and environmental determinants and contexts of alcohol and other drug use and harms.
The program informs the sector and the wider community by disseminating research results to a range of audiences through a variety of mechanisms.
Core activities of the program include the development of innovative methods to examine drug use patterns and related harms through the analysis of surveys, official statistics and administrative data.
