Forefront Lecture – Dr. David Moore (Melbourne, Australia)

“Beyond disorder, incompetence and ignorance: Re-thinking the youthful subject of alcohol and other drug policy” 

David Moore, PhD, is an anthropologist who leads the Ethnographic Program at the National Drug Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia. In Australia, as in other parts of the Western world, ‘binge drinking’ and the use of amphetamine-type stimulants among young adults are high-profile issues in media, policy, and research discourses. This lecture will compare representations of young alcohol and other drug users with the findings of three qualitative research projects conducted in the Australian cities of Perth and Melbourne.

During the Canada Post strike announced September 25, 2025, the following measures will be undertaken to minimize service disruption to BC-CfE clients and providers.

  • The BC-CfE Laboratory has transitioned to private courier for delivery of outgoing reports and documents. Results required urgently can be faxed upon request. (Lab Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8775; FAX 604-806-9463)
  • The BC-CfE Drug Treatment Program (DTP) will fax outgoing forms and documents to the provider’s office. (DTP Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8515; FAX 604-806-9044)
  • St. Paul’s Hospital Ambulatory Pharmacy has transitioned to private courier for delivery of medications. We recommend requesting medication at least 2 weeks in advance in case of delivery delays, particularly to rural/remote parts of BC. (Contact Information: Phone 1-800-547-3622; FAX 604-806-8675)

During the Canada Post strike, we recommend that documents be faxed or couriered to our sites, versus utilization of regular mail service

The BC-CfE Laboratory is streamlining reporting processes for certain tests in order to simplify distribution and record-keeping, and to ensure completeness of results. Beginning September 2, 2025, results for the ‘Resistance Analysis of HIV-1 Protease and Reverse Transcriptase’ (Protease-RT) and ‘HIV-1 Integrase Resistance Genotype’ tests will be combined into a single ‘HIV-1 Resistance Genotype Report’.
