Objective

This review aimed to examine the impact and acceptability of community-based models of alcohol and other drug (AOD) support for First Nations adults in Australia.

Findings/Key points

Culturally safe, holistic and integrated AOD outreach support led by First Nations peoples and organisations that involves local community members may support First Nations peoples experiencing AOD concerns. First Nations-led research that is controlled by and co-produced with First Nations peoples is necessary to extend our understanding of community-based programs within First Nations communities.
