Alcohol is responsible for a multitude of health conditions, including Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS). While frequently presented in specialty addiction treatment settings, patients experiencing or at risk for developing AWS also receive care in hospitals, emergency departments, and primary care settings. The current management of patients with AWS is inconsistent across care settings and evidence-based care is often not provided.
This webinar will explore the impact of COVID-19 on access to addiction medicine and withdrawal options. More details to be released soon.
This event is part of the CCSA and CCDUS new webinar series on the Implications of COVID-19 on Public Health in Canada.
Speaker:
Dr. Ginette Poulin, Clinical Lead, Canadian Research Initiative in Substance Misuse
