sabaa_psp are running a priority setting partnership to understand Substance, Alcohol and Behavioural Addictions in Autistic People. If you or anyone you know can help by completing the survey, please see the link below.

Our Chief Exec Dr Katherine Severi says "We must develop an alcohol strategy. Evidence-based policies such as price increases have been shown to be effective in reducing harm & cost-effective too; they are an excellent investment & will help the UK bounce back from the pandemic"

Really great blog - thank you!

Ever considered running a Delphi process? Betul Aslan talks to the SSA about her experiences running one on #autism and #addiction. addiction-ssa.org/running-a-delp… sabaa_psp

Running a Delphi sounds a bit like academic cat-herding at times. Great to talk to Betul about this process and the ever-fascinating sabaa_psp project.

New to the Delphi method? Check this out: Our project manager, Betul Aslan, talked to Society for the Study of Addiction about running a Delphi process. It explains how we found out more on the links between #autism and #addictions! A great read if you are interested!😁 addiction-ssa.org/running-a-delp…
