In this unit, students critically examine the reasons why people choose to change their unhealthy behaviours both with and without treatment. The primary focus of the unit is alcohol and other drug use behaviour change.

Students gain an understanding of the aetiology of alcohol and other drug use behaviours among diverse populations, including adolescents, people with a mental illness and Aboriginal populations.
Students must have passed ADS1151.
