Drugs and Public Health combines the history of drug policy and practice in Australia with an overview of the current state of play. The book summarises existing public health responses to drug-related harm, and identifies emerging innovations in policy and practice. It covers a range of drug types, populations and areas of intervention, and draws on psychological, sociological and environmental perspectives. Uniting ideas, evidence, experience and innovative case studies with theory and practice, the book helps reframe and further develop the story of Australia's response to the use of psychoactive substances, and guides future policy and program developers in reviewing and challenging existing drug strategies.
