This paper synthesises research on alcohol and other drug (AOD)-related harms and suicide risk among First Nations communities. It examines their co-occurrence, relationship and potential points of intervention and reviews existing policy and practice responses. The paper notes that systems level approaches are needed, with self-determination, community ownership, accountability and long-term investment.
