- Senior Scientist at the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, Scientist at the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research and Adjunct Associate Professor, School of Public Health and Social Policy, University of Victoria
Adam Sherk's research focuses on substance use epidemiology and alcohol policy research. He created the International Model of Alcohol Harms and Policy, an alcohol research platform used by countries worldwide to estimate alcohol-caused harms. He has created or consulted on national alcohol harms monitoring projects in Australia, Finland, Sweden, New Zealand, the United States, and Canada.
His current projects and interests include the Canadian Substance Use Costs and Harms project, estimating the cancer prevention potential of Canada-wide alcohol policies (spoiler alert: a high potential!), and the Canadian Alcohol/Ethanol Supply (CA/ES) study, which monitors and characterizes the magnitude of the alcohol/ethanol supply in Canada.
