The Evidence
You’ve found The Evidence, a new monthly podcast created and produced by the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA).
Hosted by Lee Arbon, Amanda Deseure and Victoria Lewis, this new series dives into the leading research and current trends surrounding substance use and addiction in Canada. We investigate and review the evidence on alcohol, cannabis, opioids, stigma and more. Each month, The Evidence features guests from CCSA or those working in the community. We combine CCSA's knowledge and evidence with people who face substance use disorders every day in their personal and professional lives. We converse with people in health care about the medical challenges of substance use and addition. We learn from people with lived or living experience. Their knowledge inspires our conversation.
