Abstract
The present chapter turns to implications for future research and practice. Whereas the previous chapter outlined the key findings from the empirical investigation, this chapter situates the insights born of the empirical work against the broader literature on critical alcohol and other drugs research. The chapter explores several key implications, the limitations of this research, and the conclusion of this work.
