Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on alcohol and drug use

2021 
Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) in Queensland The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been a worldwide crisis that has led to drastic changes in the way we live. Within Australia, the government introduced ‘lockdown’ measures in late March [1]. Fortunately, these measures have helped control the spread of infection, particularly in Queensland, and some restrictions have been eased. However, future outbreaks are likely to occur, and it is highly probable that restrictions will be reinstated within certain regions until a longer-term solution – such as a vaccine – is developed. Researchers globally are examining the fallout caused by the COVID-19 crisis to help inform changes to policy and healthcare.
