This session provides insights into a variety of policy making and policy research topics, including new research on policy making processes under conditions of emergency, using evidence for more effective advocacy, and understanding the impacts of incremental policy change. We also highlight methods, including mapping policy responses and working with anthropology. This tapas of original research papers all hang together around policy concerned with alcohol and others drugs. Papers cover alcohol, opioids, and cannabis. This new work from the Drug Policy Modelling Program is relevant for all areas of social policy and we look forward to sharing our insights such that we can be more effective policy researchers and create better policy!
