The Alcohol and Other Drugs Knowledge Centre has released the recording of our recent webinar titled: Alcohol and the social determinants of health: an equity lens on interventions. Skip ahead to specific sections of the webinar using the links below.
This webinar was presented by Dr. Jane Fischer from the National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction (NCETA), located at Flinders University in South Australia (SA).
Information provided in the webinar includes:
• patterns of alcohol use among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
• inequity and social determinants of health
• why alcohol use is associated with a disproportionate amount of harm and burden of disease among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
• impact of equity on alcohol related interventions
• impact of inequity on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander alcohol and other drugs (AOD) workers and how it can be addressed.
Dr. Jane Fischer is a Research Fellow at NCETA. Dr. Fischer has worked in the AOD field for over 20 years in both Adelaide and Brisbane. Prior to her current position, Dr. Fischer was the Program Manager for the Centre for Drug and Alcohol Studies located at Biala, Queensland (Qld) Health.
The research program Dr. Fischer managed was responsible for evaluating and implementing SmokeCheck and the Indigenous Risk Impact Screen (IRIS). Her research focus explored how vulnerable populations assess their quality of life (QOL); and how different groups manage 'taint' and stigma, particularly by people who use AOD. Premised on equity, her work ranges from describing the many manifestations of a 'good life', through to QOL as a client-reported outcome measure; thereby potentially improving the effectiveness of individual and community interventions.
The webinar runs for approximately 42 minutes.
