Title:

[Retired] Alcohol Dependence (PWP)

Description:

Alcohol misuse is a common public health problem. The direct health impacts are serious and can lead to early death, for example, through liver disease. Alcohol is a risk factor for the development of some cancers. The indirect effects of alcohol, such as its contribution towards violence and accidents, are also serious. The resources found in the portal help workforces to identify when someone may have an alcohol problem and provide brief interventions. There are also more specialist resources for those managing patients with various forms of substance misuse.
