Alcohol treatment for Aboriginal men in and out of prison

Over half the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people entering prison in NSW have unhealthy alcohol use (drinking over recommended limits, including alcohol dependence). Better access to evidence-based treatment is needed to improve health and reduce return to prison. My proposed research focuses on how clinical and behavioural treatments for alcohol use disorders can be improved on entry to prison, in prison and on release.
