Research centres
The University of Bath, Department of Mental Health Research and Development Unit, has managed an Alcohol, Drugs and the Family Research & Development Programme (ADF) for over 30 years. There are three key elements to the programme
- To describe the experiences of those family members (including children) who are affected by the problem alcohol or drug use of a relative.
- To translate what family members tell them into the basis of appropriate and effective interventions and services.
- To work with and support professionals in the development of approaches - services (including evaluation), interventions, policies etc - to help family members.
The department has published a paper outlining their work and some of the findings from the research programme.
