About this event

August 5, 2020, 1 p.m. – 2 p.m., EST

How much are people drinking while staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic? Are Canadians drinking more alcohol than usual and, if so, are they doing it more often? This webinar will shed light on alcohol use during the pandemic, drawing on the results of a survey and polls commissioned by CCSA in spring 2020. The webinar will also highlight resources to reduce risks related to alcohol use during the pandemic.

The English version will be hosted on August 5 and the French webinar will take place on August 6.

Speakers:

  • Dr. Catherine Paradis, Senior Research and Policy Analyst, Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction
  • Dr. Bryce Barker, Knowledge Broker, Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction
