Summary
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) Australians are up to eight times as likely to suffer death or illness as a result of alcohol use. Yet there is a critical shortage of Indigenous researchers with expertise in this field. This CRE helps build a strong and continuing network of Indigenous researchers with expertise in treating and preventing alcohol problems. The Centre will generate new knowledge, integrating efforts along the continuum of treatment and prevention.
