ABOUT THE STUDY

The Australians' Drug Use: Adapting to Pandemic Threats (ADAPT) Study is exploring the short and long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the experiences of Australians who use illicit drugs.

​

This is one of the first studies globally to talk with people who use illicit drugs about the changes they are experiencing in relation to their drug use, harms, and other challenges and positives they may be experiencing.

​

The researchers intend to ensure findings are shared quickly back to you and other key audiences (e.g., government health departments). This reporting will ensure drug-related issues during COVID-19 are better understood, more accurately represented, and used to inform drug treatment and harm reduction in Australia.

​

Participants will have the opportunity to enter a prize draw with each survey they complete, and will be able to receive personalised confidential results over time.
