Rate My Professor Kate Conigrave

Conigrave's research specializations encompass alcohol and drug dependence, biomarkers of alcohol use, screening and brief interventions such as the AUDIT tool, and culturally informed approaches to substance use among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, including harm reduction and primary health care. Her influential publications include 'Roles of drinking pattern and type of alcohol consumed in coronary heart disease in men' (New England Journal of Medicine, 2003), 'The AUDIT questionnaire: choosing a cut-off score' (Addiction, 1995), 'Traditional markers of excessive alcohol use' (Addiction, 2003), 'CDT, GGT, and AST as markers of alcohol use: the WHO/ISBRA collaborative project' (Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2002), and 'Predictive capacity of the AUDIT questionnaire for alcohol-related harm' (Addiction, 1995). Recent works address alcohol screening in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services and digital tools for reducing methamphetamine use in First Nations peoples. Through her research, grants, and guidelines contributions, Conigrave has significantly impacted addiction medicine, public health policy, and Indigenous health equity in Australia.
