摘要:

AbstractIssues concerning the allocation of research funds in the drug and alcohol field have been widely debated. A consensus workshop involving senior researchers and policy makers was convened to examine the appropriateness of current drug and alcohol research activities in Australia. The workshop identified several major barriers restricting research developments including lack of monitoring of research efforts, limited community support, inappropriate allocations of research funds which contributed to a low level of intervention studies, the lack of application of research findings by practitioners and ethical constraints in studies involving Aboriginal populations and in multi‐centre trials. Agreement was reached on 16 recommendations which could increase the amount of high quality research in Australia directed at reducing the harm associated with alcohol, tobacco and other drug use. Strategies which funding bodies could use to encourage intervention studies were identified. A proposal for the Australian Medical and Professional Society on Alcohol and other Drugs to establish a Researchers' Group to encourage implementation of the recommendations was also endorsed by workshop participant

AbstractThe article describes the nature, origins and development of Australia's recently announced National Drug Strategy (NDS). The NDS aims to minimize the harmful effects of drugs and drug use in Australian society and covers the period 1993‐97. The National Drug Strategic Plan is discussed, and the means by which the NDS will be monitored. The National Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NCADA), the forerunner to the NDS, is reviewed in terms of its major achievements. The Campaign was particularly successful in raising the policy profile of alcohol and tobacco, the drugs causing the most harm in Australian society.
