LxAddictions24: Prevention of risky and harmful behaviours

In this episode, Dr Rob Calder talks to Dr Ina Koning from European Society for Prevention Research (EUSPR) about her work as a co-producer for Lisbon Addictions. Rob and Ina discuss the EUSPR track's focus on prevention. They cover interventions, treatment, and the wide range of outcomes, substances and behavioural addictions. They also discuss how these can change according across populations including young people, families and professionals.

They also talk about the process of putting together sessions for Lisbon Addictions before sharing some pointers for first-time attendees at Lisbon Addictions.

“Because of the huge variety of topics, the huge variety of sessions and talks, there's always something of interest going on.”
