COVID-19 implications for alcohol and other drug use, problems and services, and alcohol-related harm in the home and workplace

COVID-19 implications for alcohol and other drug use, problems and services, and alcohol-related harm in the home and workplace EditorialIn this first issue of IJADR of 2024 we have seen a number of papers that continue to explore the implications of COVID-19 for alcohol and other drug use, problems and services (Willoughby et al., 2024;Wijesundara et al, 2024).Researchers in our field continue to ask questions about how business and service systems respond, adjust and cope.Lessons from how business and treatment systems respond to unexpected threats are useful for future service development and better disaster proofing, particularly as we head into situations where we will experience global warming, food instability, resource shortages, pandemics and extreme weather events more often.While service systems seek to respond to arising problems, industries also respond to business opportunities they identify in changing markets (Willoughby et al., 2024).
