Drugs and Public Health

Australian Perspectives on Policy and Practice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drugs and Public Health combines the history of drug policy and practice in Australia with an overview of the current state of play. The book summarizes existing public health responses to drug-related harm, and identifies emerging innovations in policy and practice. It covers a range of drug types, populations, and areas of intervention, and draws on psychological, sociological, and environmental perspectives. Uniting ideas, evidence, experience, and innovative case studies with theory and practice, the book reframes and further develops the story of Australia's response to the use of psychoactive substances, and guides future policy and program developers in reviewing and challenging existing drug strategies.
