Addictions and Concurrent Disorders Research Group

This is the channel of the Addictions and Concurrent Disorders Group, directed by Dr. Michael Krausz, and presents videos from academic experts on mental health, concurrent disorders, and substance use. Through the sharing of knowledge, we hope to translate evidence-based research into effective treatment and policy.

Dr. Krausz currently serves on the board of Section of Addiction of the World Psychiatric Association (WPA).His main interests include the comorbidity of severe mental illness and addiction, especially psychosis and the use of psychotropic substances, and the effective treatment of such conditions.
