This volume brings together a number of journal articles and book chapters on Indigenous Australian drug and alcohol research by the National Drug Research Institute at Curtin University of Technology. The 13 chapters include six papers on primary research projects that involved the collection of new data, and seven on secondary research projects which review the results of other studies and discuss their implications. The book brings together a range of findings on topics from the effectiveness of liquor licensing restrictions to what works in preventing alcohol misuse among Indigenous Australians. Themes running through the work of the National Drug Research Institute include: monitoring changing patterns of Indigenous alcohol and other drug use; a focus on the political and economic context of Indigenous substance misuse; the importance of supply reduction strategies; the importance of culturally appropriate evaluation in determining which intervention strategies work; and the continuum of practical collaboration between researchers and Indigenous communities.
