A fellowship program aiming to reduce risky alcohol consumption by understanding and intervening during drinking events [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Cassandra Wright (Principal investigator)

Brief description Acute alcohol-related harms are strongly connected to heavy drinking episodes (i.e. binge drinking). In order to address this important issue, we need to understand how people drink and behave on nights out, what factors are linked with harmful drinking and what interventions are effective for reducing drinking within at-risk populations. This research will use innovative technology to better understand drinking episodes, and will provide practical insights to inform interventions and policies.
