I loved this course in many ways but I felt that the things they talked about and stated as evidence-based I wish there were links to the research articles or articles given for download on them.

Too much related to the situaton in the US.

Less useful in other parts of the world.

But nevertheless I did enjoy the course and took many useful hints for my work.

The course was very good however when one of the panel members states she will be drinking wine on the weekend doesnt sit well with some people

excellent course covering multidimentional perspective, approach and practices in treatment of substance use disorder

Good clinical skills but could have more information. It was straight to the point however and not a waste of time.

A very simple, user friendly course; the use of simple language assists in the understanding of the lessons.

Very good, great instructors, engaging. Just wish there was more Canadian content

i had ask the question will i get a certificate after completing this course ?

some informations are not global , and covid situation has also changed

It was really awsome course. I learnt alot fron this course.

completely hard to stay focused... Thank you!!!!

Very Educational and Informtive

Excellent, but to Us centered.

cant get my certificate

Amazin!

Good.

valid

I believe there should be some treated alcoholics/addicts who are members of 12 step groups included in this panel of professionals. 12 step programs would benefit by learning from medical professionals. This would increase the efficacy of both treatments and reduce the polarised view that 12 step programs have a high failure rate because they are not 'evidence based' and that medication wont' help in addiction/alcoholism. AA sends people to doctors, doctors to AA.

It took me 20+ hours to complete this course.The main information could have been imparted in 3-4 hours. There were lots of redundancies.but the speakers were very knowledgable

kind of hoped to see more of the psychotherapy methods , how to conduct a cognitive behavioral therapy, individual therapy and others in detail

This was informative, but out of touch in terms of functional interventional techniques for replacement behavior & medication. This is also doesn't take into account simultaneous research in possible rudimentary positive feedback loops/reinforcement in comparison to extreme negative feedback loops i.e. effectiveness of specific methods of extreme behavior modification with Stanford prisoner study electroshock "therapy" vs. basic positive reinforcement using a Pavlovian method. Also didn't discuss practical methods for effective gambling cessation techniques & effective means of muting environmental stimuli that increase the likelihood of keeping people in cycles of financial distress/poverty. Could've used studies that involve functional MRI, or EEG in the positive reward feedback loop in order to personalize & identify possible strategies to replace the behavior with reasonably attempting to find out what an equally rewarding behavior might be to an individual (since those obviously vary per person) vs. archaic techniques in prescribing what could only be described as "punitive" (& frankly negatively stigmatized) tranquilizers & sedatives. I get that it's an introductory class, but there are far more interesting topics & methods for successful & functional behavior reallocation that could stand to be discussed.

Very boring, want to unenroll but can't figure out how.

very good course
