Program Level: CPD
Program: Addictions Policy and Interventions
Summary: In this module we'll discuss how drug policy is made, how evidence is used in the development of policy, as well as exploring the evidence for effective interventions (demand reduction, treatment, and some harm reduction approaches). We begin by looking at general policy development models to provide a solid foundation, and then go into detail into particular approaches. By the end of the Module you will know more about 'what works' and why 'what works' is often not implemented.

There will also be the opportunity to debate key elements of drug policy (including drug laws and recent debates such as the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016, medicinal cannabis, and supervised drug consumption rooms) and key features of a public health response to drugs.
