Project description: 

NCETA are conducting a literature review for Drug and Alcohol Services South Australia (DASSA). The literature review will explore what screening tools and intake assessment processes are available that can be adapted or adopted to support or inform alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) intake and/or assessment of:

  1. Women (Aboriginal or non-Indigenous) of Aboriginal babies (in utero – 4 years)
  2. Patients who are Aboriginal and have a chronic disease and/or mental health concern.

The team at NCETA are excited to get stuck into the new project and can’t wait to share some of the findings.
