Research and Innovation

We work with partner organizations, evaluate emerging evidence, advance scholarly publications, and conduct and publish our own translational research and quality improvement projects — all with the aim to connect clinicians, individuals and community with new knowledge about alcohol use disorder and treatment options. In addition, we are dedicated to working with student researchers to build a new generation that understands the importance of treating alcohol use disorder as a health condition.

  • Our Projects

    We conduct translational and small quality improvement projects to advance knowledge around alcohol use disorder and treatment options. This excludes clinical or basic (such as the use of animals or theoretical modelling) research. View our projects: Medication Selection Tool, Community Engagement research as well as a priority survey study.

  • Our Publications

    We are thrilled to work with partner organizations to evaluate evidence, advance knowledge and to conduct our own translational research. View our publications here.

  • Conferences

    We are thrilled to present emerging information about alcohol use disorder and treatment options at conferences such as BC Quality Forum, and at the Canadian Centre for Substance Abuse’s Issues of Substance conferences. Check out posters from previous conferences.

  • Student Researchers

    We are thrilled to work with student researchers from institutions across the country including at McGill University, the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary and at the University of British Columbia. Our students are enrolled in programs such as medicine, cognitive neuroscience and community health sciences. Meet our students here.

  • Partners

    Advancing systems, practice and cultural change surrounding the complex issue of alcohol use disorder will take collaboration and the work of many partners. We welcome the opportunity to share our work, and to collaborate with other academic and health organizations. Contact us below if you’re interested in a discussion or collaborating with us!
