The Alcohol and Drug Research Unit (ADRU) is a multi-disciplinary team of researchers and information specialists who provide objective, reliable and comparable information on the alcohol and drug situation, its consequences and responses in Ireland.
The ADRU maintains two national drug-related surveillance systems and is the Irish national focal point for the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). The Unit also manages the National Documentation Centre on Drug Use.
The ADRU disseminates research findings, information and news in the HRB publication series and in the quarterly newsletter, Drugnet Ireland.
