Rounding Up the Associations: How Perceptions of Addiction are Recruited
This report maps the gaps between how Albertans think and experts talk about the science of addiction.
Looking at qualitative data gathered from interviews with scientists and ordinary Albertans, this report maps the gaps between how Albertans think and experts talk about the science of addiction. Specifically, we look at gaps in understanding surrounding issues of definition, causation, intervention and responsibility. These gaps in understanding represent specific challenges in communicating about this science and in translating a developmental perspective on addiction.
