Overview

This research project is run by the Lyndon Community's Research and Training Program branch and funded by the Australian Research Council and National Health and Medical Research Council. The study will run from January 2010 to December 2012. It aims to assess the acceptability, feasibility and likely cost-effectiveness of a family focused intervention for Indigenous individuals with alcohol dependence, delivered in the context of routine Indigenous-specific, health-care services.
