In the article, Substance Use and Disabilities: Experiences of Adult’s Social Care Professionals and the Implications for Education and Training, written by Cherilyn Dance and Sarah Galvani, the authors examine data from an England national survey of social workers and social care doctors. The main focus is on the doctors who are working in facilities for adults with a physical or learning disabilities and their history of alcohol and other drug use. The paper also summarizes the degree in which workers in these areas of practice are faced with alcohol and drug problems and discusses the main challenges they have. The results of these studies shows that between 4% and 10% of adults' practitioners' service users have alcohol and drug problems.
