Addictions Medicine Research Study
Over the last three years, substance use-related visits to HSN have increased close to 50%.
In order to help address this crucial issue in Northern Ontario, HSN established the Addictions Medicine Unit (AMU), and the Addiction Medicine Consult Service (AMCS).
A research study led by Dr. Kristen Morin, HSNRI research scientist, and Dr. Tara Leary, Physician Lead, Regional Addictions Services, set out to determine whether these initiatives were effective at reducing rates of hospital revisits.
