D&A research in agriculture and fishing industries

1 JANUARY 2003

New research led by Charles Sturt University (CSU) aims to learn more about alcohol and drug use by workers in Australia’s agricultural and fishing industries. Research leader Dr Julaine Allan, from CSU’s Centre for Inland Health and a Senior Research Fellow at the Lyndon Community, an alcohol and other drugs service in western NSW, said, “The research aims to gauge the extent of substance use, assess the safety implications, and understand and help ease the stresses that may lead workers to take alcohol and drugs.   We want to speak to people who work in the agricultural and fishing industries throughout regional Australia, confidentially and without prejudice. We would also like to interview their family members, and community leaders in the relevant regional areas.”
