The Addiction Healthcare Goals programme, led by the Office for Life Sciences, worked with the James Lind Alliance to enable healthcare professionals, people with experience of addictions or who use alcohol or drugs problematically, carers and families, to work together to identify and prioritise the questions for future research that will make the most difference to people. The aim was to identify important questions for future research regarding harm reduction, treatment of, and recovery from addictions from the perspective of those who are expert by experience, and professionals.
The priorities for future research identified are available for a range of organisations which fund research, to inform their research funding strategies.
There are numerous terms used for those people experiencing addictions. For the purpose of this PSP we used the term people with experience of/or experiencing addiction or people with experience of drug and alcohol problems.
The Addiction Healthcare Goals PSP Top 10 was published in May 2025.
