NCETA is excited to reveal that we are soon to launch a new online collection website focused on alcohol and other drug screening and withdrawal tools.

Standardised alcohol and other drug (AOD) screening and withdrawal tools are crucial for early prevention, intervention and client/patient safety. Over the past decade, several documents have been produced that synthesise these intervention assessment tools, however no online repository has existed where Australian AOD services could readily access and review these instruments. NCETA’s Online Collection will change this.

NCETA worked in consultation with stakeholders from the AOD sector to identify tools commonly recommended and peer reviewed in Australia.  The website will feature these regularly used screening and withdrawal tools along with an assessment of each tool, a description of its utility as well as identifying key knowledge gaps and recommendations for future research.

Keep an eye out on our website and other social media for the soon to be announced launch date www.nceta.flinders.edu.au.
