Addiction and Problematic Substance Use

Description

The course emphasizes the complex biological, social, cultural, and legal aspects and implications of substance use and addiction. The course content is underpinned by theory that acknowledges the socially constructed nature of substances and what is deemed problematic. Contemporary and historical issues in substance use are examined, including consideration of the determinants of health. The evolution of various responses to substance use are compared. Case studies focus on the interconnectedness of poverty, loneliness, violence, and culture in creating and problematizing substance use.
