National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre


IDRS and EDRS Bulletins


    Separate bulletins for the IDRS and EDRS projects are produced in April, June, October and December of each year. Bulletins were first introduced in 1999 as a means of providing information on interesting aspects of project results in a more accessible format. They may also contain more detailed analyses and information on a particular topic of interest.

    Bulletins can be written in collaboration with guest researchers and organisations, such as those from the National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research (NCHECR), as well as by IDRS and EDRS researchers around the country.


    The National Illicit Drug Indicators Project (NIDIP) also produces bulletins on topics of interest.
