I'm wondering if there's any research you've heard about lately that excites you or areas that you might need more research about?

There's always a lot of research into different drugs and treatments.

One of the areas of research I'm interested in is supporting people in perhaps overlooked areas such as older people, people in prison, people in community housing.

Our population is ageing so inevitably there's going to be a cohort of people who use alcohol and other drugs later in life.

Supporting them taking a harm reduction approach to live longer healthier lives is a high priority.

Everyone deserves to live a life of dignity for as long as they can and a lot of that involves addressing the stigma.

What do you hope to do with that podcast?

Exactly that, really, to share information about what the three big harm reduction services in Yarra do, what it's like to use them from a consumer point of view, and some of the challenges that they face.
