Dan Winter presenting at APSAD 2025
We also congratulate both Andressa Almeida and Maya Kusumoto who were fortunate to attend their very first APSAD Conference, with support from a DACRIN Professional Development Scholarship. We hope they both had a blast and am sure both will be keen to tell you about their experience attending. The team also celebrated the closing of the CBD-CUD (Cannabidiol-Cannabis Use Disorder) Study, with a celebration hosted by the Study Sponsor and attended by members from each site. The study also featured a poster at this year’s conference, titled Who’s seeking help? Participant profiles from the largest Randomised Control Trial of cannabidiol for cannabis use disorder. You can view a copy of the poster here. Next year’s APSAD will be held in Fremantle, Western Australia, from 8–11 November 2026. Start thinking about your next research project, and you could be presenting at next year’s conference! For DAS Staff, don’t forget to submit any requests for research projects or conference attendance to Research Quality Impact Committee via the Work Instruction Forms.

Alongside attending talks and plenty of networking, our very own Dan Winter from DAS presented findings from a study on Substance Use, Crime Survivorship, and Justice System Experiences among members of the general public. Those who attended the MHDA Conference earlier this year may remember a similar presentation by Dan on this project.
