“Probably one of medicine’s best kept secrets”
BACKGROUND: Substance dependence is a significant health problem and major cause of preventable disease worldwide. Addiction Medicine (AM) specialists play an important role across numerous countries in the management and treatment of individuals with problematic substance use. However, there is currently a shortage of Fellows of the Australasian Chapter of Addiction Medicine (AChAM), with many reaching retirement age. This study aimed to inform …
Alcohol and Other Drug Vocational Education and Training in Australia
People impacted by alcohol and other drugs (AOD) are supported across a range of health and social service settings, often by workers in generalist roles who may not have specialist training. Vocational education and training (VET) plays a key role in equipping AOD workers with the knowledge and skills required for practice, yet there is no contemporary national overview of AOD VET availability and distribution in Australia. This study examines A…

Adolescents' Exposure to Zero‐Alcohol Advertisements and Attitudes and Consumption Intentions Towards Alcohol
Risky Drinking in Midlife Men
Wide-Ranging Responses to Temporary Abstinence Challenges Among UK-Based Heavier Drinkers
Temporary abstinence challenges (TACs) encouraging people to abstain from alcohol for typically 1 month time periods have acquired considerable popularity. TACs may promote longer-term reductions in alcohol consumption, but it is unclear how TACs influence behavior changes and whether positive changes are held among adults identifiable as relatively heavy drinkers. Drawing on a UK-based sample of six heavier drinkers, we measured self-reported al…
‘It's Hard to Look Past the Accessibility’
Alcohol advertising in disguise
The combination of high levels of agreement and slower reaction times suggest that adolescents categorise zero-alcohol drinks as non-typical alcoholic drinks, rather than soft drinks. Thus, exposure to zero-alcohol drinks had similar effects to exposure to alcoholic drinks. Urgent regulatory action is required to ensure that restrictions on alcohol advertising and availability to minors extend to zero-alcohol drinks
I’d be willing to take that risk for the enjoyment of the time that I have’
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 33 Australian community-dwelling older adults (aged 65+ years) who drank alcohol at least once a month. Thematic analyses identified common themes which were then mapped onto the COM-B theoretical framework. Drinking behaviours were driven by a lack of capability in the form of poor knowledge regarding safe drinking behaviours and guidelines; high opportunity for consumption due to ease of accessing …
Zero alcohol products and adolescents
INTRODUCTION: Zero alcohol products (ZAPs) could reduce alcohol-related harms by acting as a substitute for alcoholic beverages. However, concerns have been raised regarding the potential for these products to expose young people to additional alcohol-related stimuli, further normalising alcohol use and acting as a gateway to underage alcohol consumption. Scarce research has examined whether these concerns are warranted. METHOD: This project comp…
Australian parents’ attitudes, perceptions and supply of alcohol to adolescents
Parental supply of alcohol to adolescents is associated with increased risk of subsequent adolescent alcohol use and harms, so identifying factors associated with parents’ decision-making is critical. This study examined how parental supply is associated with attitudes toward adolescent alcohol use, perceived norms of parental supply, perceived behavioural control and perceived acceptable age to drink alcohol. A total of 1197 Australian parents w…
Vaping harms awareness messaging
Nicotine vaping products (NVPs) pose health risks associated with nicotine dependence and increased likelihood of tobacco consumption. Despite having a secondary role in smoking cessation, recreational NVP use is increasing among younger people. Vaping prevention campaigns aim to influence views on the health risks of vaping. This study examined perceptions of Australian and international vaping prevention campaigns among 27 young South Australia…
Prevalence of parental supply of alcohol to minors
Parental supply of alcohol to minors (i.e. those under the legal drinking age) is often perceived by parents as protective against harms from drinking, despite evidence linking it with adverse alcohol-related outcomes. This systematic review describes the prevalence of parental supply of alcohol, as reported in the international literature. The review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020218754). We searched seven online databases (Medline, Emba…
Is leader proactivity enough
Leading the team, but feeling dissatisfied
Most research on informal leadership focuses on the benefits of leading, with little attention placed on exploring the potential negative implications for individuals with informal leadership status. We integrate adaptive leadership theory and conservation of resources theory to highlight the energetic activation level and work satisfaction of informal leaders based on four complementary studies. Results of Study 1 (survey) confirmed a negative a…
We Were Totally Supportive, of Course
Despite the strong influence our significant others have on health behaviors such as alcohol consumption, little is known about when they are willing to provide support for changing such behaviors. We conducted interviews with 13 Australian adults who had a partner, friend, or family member who stopped or significantly reduced their alcohol consumption within the past 2 years, to understand how these significant others accounted for providing sup…
