This week on Wellbeing Jack Hodgins spoke with Professor Adrian Dunlop from the University of Newcastle.
Prof. Dunlop has over 25 years experience in the addiction field both in a clinical and researching setting. Since 2007, Prof. Dunlop has been the Director of the Drug & Alcohol Clinical Services in the Hunter New England Local Health District.
In this edition of Wellbeing, Prof. Dunlop talks about what alcohol is, how alcohol can affect people differently, Australia’s drinking culture, how common it is for a problem with alcohol to develop, the historical and cultural links to alcohol in Australian culture, the strain alcoholism puts on the health system, and how we should frame what addiction is.
