NDRI webinar–Criminalisation vs Care: Experiences and responses to methamphetamine use in Australia

Methamphetamine is one of the most used substances among people who have contact with Australia’s criminal legal system. However, our understanding of the experiences and drivers of criminal legal system involvement for people who use methamphetamine is limited. In this webinar, NDRI's Michael Curtis presents on the incidence and correlates of imprisonment in a cohort of Victorians who smoke methamphetamine, NDARC's Rebecca McKetin provides a brief update of the evidence for treating methamphetamine use disorder, including progress towards pharmacotherapy options and innovations in other evidence-based treatment options, and NDRI's Shelley Walker presents findings of a qualitative study about the harms associated with the criminalisation of methamphetamine use on rural Victorians who smoke methamphetamine.
