The Global Drug Survey (GDS), the world’s largest annual drug use survey, is currently exploring topics like drug prices, decriminalisation/legalisation impacts, illicit to***co use, performance-enhancing drugs, nitrous oxide use, to***co policies, and drug use in nightlife/festival settings.

The anonymous online survey takes 20-30 minutes, is available in nine languages, and is open to anyone aged 16 or over who has used a drug (including alcohol or to***co) in the past year. Please share this with your networks and encourage participation.

Thank you to all who participated in this year's Ecstasy and Illicit Drug Survey (EDRS). You can view the study results here - https://ndarc.med.unsw.edu.au/resource/new-south-wales-drug-trends-2023-key-findings-ecstasy-and-related-drugs-reporting-system

The EDRS offers so many benefits in understanding and addressing drug-related issues, including:

🤝 Effective Harm Reduction - Informing strategies to minimise risks and support people who use drugs.
🏥 Inform Public Health Planning - Provide data for evidence-based planning and resource allocation.
📈 Early Detection of Trends - The EDRS can identify emerging patterns in drug use.

The Drug Trends 2022 reports have now been published and are available on the NDARC website.
