Dr. Tim Stockwell is a psychologist and professor at the University of Victoria. As the Director of the University of Victoria's Centre for Addictions Research of BC, Stockwell leads studies that provide information on alcohol and other drug use: information that guides government policies. In this video, he describes his research and development of harm reduction programs in his work with unstable drinkers. He explains Canada's use of alcohol floor prices, and describes CARBC's role in the ongoing international development of similar policies.
