Funded Activity Summary

Indigenous Australians experience disproportionately high rates of drug and alcohol harms and young people are particularly vulnerable: over 50% of 10-17 year old juvenile detainees are Indigenous, despite comprising only 2% of the population. There is no reliable evidence about which interventions might reduce these harms. This study quantifies the benefits/costs of combining cognitive-behaviour therapy with a community-reinforcement strategy to reduce substance-related harms among young Indigenous Australians.
