This first webinar aims to review the latest evidence on impact of cannabis use and related disorders on health and society, including the therapeutic use of cannabinoids. The webinar will also address examples of political response to cannabis use disorders and other health conditions caused by or associated with cannabis use, and priorities for international research in these areas.
Implementing evidence-based smoking cessation treatment – Oct 27th
The topics covered in this second webinar include: how to train health professionals to deliver evidence-based treatment, the availability of treatment throughout the world, and smoking cessation treatment in special populations who do not usually receive it, such as mental health/addiction patients.
