Brief description Indigenous people live considerably less than non-Indigenous Australians. Governments spend millions each year trying to close this health gap but there is little evidence to demonstrate that this money is being spent appropriately. This project aims to evaluate the return on investment on funds spent on addressing the harm caused by alcohol misuse in Indigenous Australians. These results will strengthen the evidence-base required to develop appropriate Indigenous health policy in Australia.
