This webinar was co-hosted by Evidence Exchange Network (EENet) and by the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA).
Alcohol consumption, ensuing harms, and treatments for harmful alcohol use have all changed during the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of government-enforced shutdowns and policies to encourage social distancing. On March 10 2022, this panel of experts discussed emerging research on these significant changes. Presentations will be followed by a Q&A period.
