  • Applicant: Nicola Kalk
  • Project ID: 17-104

.The police can detain people under Section 136 if they are suffering from a mental illness and in immediate need of care. Little is known about the profile of drug and alcohol use in 136 attenders and the prevalence of addiction in this population. This project will investigate the characteristics of patients with comorbid substance use problems admitted to the 136 suite and the clinical care they receive there and subsequently.
