    Open AccessEmily Deans, George Economidis et al.ARTICLEEvaluation and Program Planning2025

    INTRODUCTION: The non-profit sector contributes significantly to preventing and reducing harm from alcohol and other drugs (AOD).

    BACKGROUND: Clients with co-occurring and complex needs represent an important segment of the alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment population. Retaining and engaging individuals in AOD treatment is challenging, and this pursuit is further impeded when clients present with complex support needs. This study sought to establish the feasibility and acceptability of a newly developed psychoeducation program for this clientele, attending a non-reside…

  • Engaging and retaining clients in AOD treatment

    Open AccessEmily Deans, Jioji Ravulo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth Studies2024References: 4

    Finding ways to engage and retain young people in treatment for substance use is important in disrupting trajectories of dependence and long-term addiction. Research speaks to the complex interplay of system, client, and clinician factors influencing treatment attendance. This study used a qualitative approach to explore the views of clients (young people [n = 19] and their carers [n = 5]) on the enablers to treatment engagement and retention. Fo…

  • A qualitative study exploring young offenders’ perspectives on alcohol and other drug health promotion

    Open AccessEmily Deans, Jioji Ravulo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Community services have an integral role in ensuring drug and alcohol education is accessible for different youth populations. Importantly, health promotion organisations should raise awareness about the environmental influences on drug use behaviours, and work deliberately to include consumer perspectives in the design and planning of prevention and harm reduction strategies

  • The role of peer influences on the normalisation of sports wagering

    Emily G Deans, Emily Deans et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2016

    Sports wagering has been identified as a gambling product which may pose particular risks for young men, because of the aggressive marketing tactics used to promote these products, and the alignment with culturally valued sporting activities. However, there is very limited information about the socio-cultural processes that may contribute to the normalisation of sports wagering for this population. Using semi-structured interviews with 50 Austral…

  • Creating symbolic cultures of consumption

    Open AccessEmily G Deans, Emily Deans et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    This research suggests that the appeal strategies used by the sports wagering industry are similar to those strategies adopted by other unhealthy commodity industries. With respect to gambling, analysis revealed that strategies are clearly targeted to young male sports fans. Researchers and public health practitioners should seek to better understand the impact of marketing on the normalisation of sports wagering for this audience segment, and im…

    Open AccessBill Sillar, Emily Deans et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2013Cited by: 7References: 40

    The archaeological site at Raqchi is best known for the large Inka building identified by colonial sources as the "temple of Viracocha." The site also has an enclosure with 152 circular buildings that have previously been interpreted as Inka state storage: collcas. Although Inka pottery was found within some structures, the utilitarian pottery, carbonized plant remains, and hearths found on the floors of the buildings at Raqchi date their constru…

  • Identidad étnica bajo el dominio inka

    Open AccessBill Sillar, Emily Deans et al.ARTICLEBoletín de Arqueología PUCP2002Cited by: 11

    Cieza de León describe como luego de acordar una amnistía con el Inka Viracocha, el grupo étnico Canas se convirtió en aliado principal de los inkas y reubicó sus asentamientos lejos de la cumbre de los cerros y, más bien, se asentaron en el fondo de los valles. En el presente trabajo se consideran estas afirmaciones a la luz de las evidencias arqueológicas de cambios y continuidades dentro del territorio canas durante el Periodo Intermedio Tardí…
