Substance use significantly raises suicide risk, with higher impacts on women. Alcohol, opioids, tobacco, and more are linked to increased mortality. Read the latest meta-analysis in DADR for more details: buff.ly/4j78GBi

I’m getting tired of all of this narrative. You look after yourself when you’re looked after by others & when you’re not struggling with poverty, social isolation & discrimination. The state has a pivotal role in preparing the soil. Whether that’s NHS or beyond. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The public must be motivated to take charge of their own health, a Labour adviser has said
