SUMMARY:NDRI WEBINAR – Trends in harms from alcohol: The National Alcohol Indicators Project
DESCRIPTION:The National Alcohol Indicators Project (NAIP) is a nationally coordinated project aimed at tracking and reporting on trends in alcohol-related harm in Australia at national\, state and local levels. One of the main objectives of the project is to develop a set of indicators for the continual monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of state and national alcohol policies. This webinar will focus on trends in alcohol-related hospitalisations and deaths in Australia. \nThis webinar will be facilitated by Professor Tanya Chikritzhs\, the principal investigator of NAIP. Dr William Gilmore will provide a tour of www.alcoholharmtool.info – an instant\, interactive data visualisation tool to identify trends and patterns in alcohol-attributable deaths and hospitalisations in Australia. Associate Professor Michael Livingston’s presentation will examine recent trends in alcohol-related liver disease in Australia\, unpacking how rates of deaths and hospital admissions have been influenced by cohort specific patterns of drinking as well as broader social changes. Dr Nic Taylor will discuss how NAIP has been used to evaluate the Northern Territory’s alcohol floor price (Minimum Unit Price).

SUMMARY:NDRI Webinar - Young people and vaping: The pervasiveness of social media marketing and prevention efforts
DESCRIPTION:Vaping is a growing public health concern\, especially for younger populations. National survey evidence indicates that vaping has increased exponentially in the past 5-10 years among adolescents and young adults. \nThis webinar brings together a range of speakers to discuss the marketing of vapes on social media\, key strategies to reduce vaping among young people\, and recent findings from projects aiming to prevent young people from vaping. \nProfessor Jonine Jancey will discuss how vape content is presented on social media\, how this content has been managed and how it will (hopefully) be managed in the future\, in the Australian context. Lorena Chapman will provide an overview of Cancer Council WA’s youth vaping prevention and support program\, Clear the Air\, including an overview of current campaign activities and community-based initiatives that the team is working on to support young people to break free from vaping. Jazlyn East will provide insight into NDRI’s Our Futures Vaping Trial\, an evidence-based educational initiative designed to address the rising concern of adolescent vaping in Australia.

SUMMARY:NDRI APRIL WEBINAR: The Intersection of Violence and Drug Use Among Women
DESCRIPTION:WED APRIL 16th – 2-2:45pm AWST / 4-4:45pm AEST / 7-7:45am BST \nPresenters:  \nGail Gilchrist\, Kings College\, London \nSam Colledge-Frisby\, National Drug Research Institute\, Curtin University \nJade Lane\, Burnet Institute \nFacilitated by Shelley Walker & Emma Vieira (National Drug Research Institute\, Curtin University) \nWomen who use drugs are at an increased risk of gender-based violence\, which encompasses a range of victimisation and has been linked to negative social and health outcomes. As well\, there are unique consequences for this group of women\, such as increased and negative interactions with police\, higher risk of overdose\, adverse impacts on substance use patterns\, and impeding treatment engagement or completion. \nThis webinar will start with an overview of the international literature regarding violence among women who use drugs\, provided by Gail Gilchrist. Next\, Sam Colledge-Frisby will present findings from a developing study investigating the prevalence of gender-based violence and accessing of medical care among women who inject drugs. Finally\, Jade Lane will introduce perspectives from a co-design project focusing on community-led alternative responses to gender-based violence that are suitable to the needs of women with histories of drug use. \nPlease register to join us virtually for the webinar.  \nClick here for further information about the NDRI webinar series and to join the mailing list for future events\, email ndri@curtin.edu.au
