Alcohol and Other Drug Service Availability, Capacity, and Diversity in Urban and Rural Australia: An Integrated Atlas

CONCLUSIONS: By describing the capacity of identified available services within the study regions, this study provides baseline information to inform changes to policy and practice and a foundation for monitoring and modeling service changes over time. This information provides evidence useful for optimal planning. However, it should be combined with local knowledge and stakeholder expertise to ensure that local area service needs are addressed.PMID:34100709
