Dear HIFA colleagues,
Further to our recent announcement:
HIFA announces a deep-dive discussion on Alcohol use disorders, January - February 2024
https://www.hifa.org/news/hifa-announces-deep-dive-discussion-alcohol-us...
and on behalf of NextGenU.org and HIFA, I would like to invite HIFA members with a professional interest in Alcohol Use Disorders to join our working group. Our task is to prepare a global conversation on this subject to take place in January/February 2024 on the HIFA discussion forums. We shall look in particular at the information and learning needs of health professionals (including lay health workers) responsible for diagnosing and managing Alcohol Use Disorders.
There will be one short (1h) virtual meeting in December and a further short meeting in January. The role of the group is to plan the questions and publicise the discussion widely.
More information is available here: https://www.hifa.org/news/hifa-announces-deep-dive-discussion-alcohol-us...
and here: https://www.hifa.org/projects/mental-health-meeting-information-needs-su...
Please pass this message to any colleagues who are working in this area, especially in LMICs.
If you would like to join this group, please let me know by 28 November with a few words about your interest and experience in this area.
Many thanks, Neil
