In this webinar, Drs. Norman Giesbrecht, Heather Orpana, Sarah Konefal, and Robert Gabrys outline the pathways between alcohol use and suicide, the data and terminology used to discuss alcohol-related suicide, and how policies on alcohol relate to the prevention of such deaths.
Each presentation also touches on the past and potential impacts of COVID-19 on alcohol-related deaths and suicide.
