Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health

This research contributes to prevention and reduction of the burden of harm caused by alcohol and other drugs (AOD) among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. Research focuses on the inter-related topics of changing patterns of AOD use, factors related to harmful use, more efficient and effective provision of services, and improved policy responses. Research is based on well-established partnerships with Aboriginal community-controlled health organisations and conducted with Aboriginal community stakeholders and organisations actively involved in all aspects of research from planning through to translation into policy and strategies.
