New paper! We used focus groups and arts-based methods to explore whether people ‘other’ when making judgements about harmful drinking and the drinking contexts and features of drinking contexts perceived as being indicative of harmful drinking. bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

OPINION: Federal cuts put addiction treatment and recovery at risk

Loved working with @hannahcarlon.bsky.social who used critical discourse analysis to assess how US opinion news media portrays harm reduction. Spoilers: Over 80% of opinion media in 2023-2024 was positive, yet stigmatizing language abounds. 50 days free access: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kvxI3PEro...
