Researchers at the Centre for Research on Ageing, Health and Wellbeing (CRAHW) today (6 May 2016) announced a new survey for methamphetamine use in the ACT.

“We aim to estimate the extent of methamphetamine use in the ACT, describe patterns of methamphetamine use, document the health and wellbeing of people who use the drug, and understand barriers to their accessing treatment and other health services,” said Associate Professor Rebecca McKetin, who leads the Substance Use & Health Group at CRAHW.
