VOGLIAMOCI BENE

This week's PODCAST with Mario Corena & ''Vogliamoci Bene'', we will welcome in Studio Sanremo special guest, Professor Jacqueline Bowden .

Professor Jacqueline Bowden is Director of the National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction (NCETA), Flinders University. 

She is a behavioural scientist who has worked at the interface of research and public health policy for more than twenty years (particularly in tobacco and alcohol control, and more recently other drugs). 

Jacqueline has a background in both psychology (BA (Hons) and PhD) and public health (MPH).

Jacqueline has held roles in academia, the non-government sector and within government. 

Prior to her role at NCETA, Jacqueline was Deputy Director of the Health Policy Centre at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute for 7 years, and Externally Funded Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide. She has been a key advisor to the South Australian Government for 15 years, and she previously managed the implementation of all research and evaluation for all SA Government-funded tobacco control programs (and overarching strategies). 

She has been a consultant in research and evaluation design, and currently holds an NHMRC Early Career Fellowship to investigate ways to reduce parental supply of alcohol to children. 

Jacqueline also currently leads a national evaluation of one of Australia’s largest public health campaigns, which aims to raise awareness of the risks of drinking alcohol during pregnancy and breastfeeding. 

Jacqueline has also received 8 awards and prizes for her research in the past 5 years, and is President of the SA Branch of the Public Health Association of Australia.

In this PODCAST we ask Jacquie the following :

Tell us about Australia’s relationship with alcohol?

What are the current statistics on alcohol and other drug dependence in Australia and South Australia?

What is a safe amount to drink?

How many people drink to excess?

What is the relationship between alcohol and mental illness? Does drinking cause mental illness?

What about teenage drinking? Should we be worried about teenage drinking in Australia? We know it can cause accidents and injury but what are the long term implications?

What should parents do to help their teenagers set up a good relationship with alcohol?

Where can people get further support?

So Jacquie has a wealth of knowledge in research in Tobacco, Alcohol and other drugs. It was a true pleasure interviewing her, especially on the topic re alcohol influence on young children, especially as the brain is still developing up to the age of 25 and what damage could be caused.
