Adult social care services have been identified as a setting in which screening for gambling-related harms is suitable and desirable. To achieve this, a tool is required which …
An Australian Profile on Cocaine Supply

Most money was made by cocaine importers and by those selling small, diluted quantities to injecting drug users (IDU), with lower returns made by suppliers to recreational drug users. Australian domestic cocaine transactions appear to occur within private social networks which are difficult to disrupt, with little impact on the volume and price of cocai…
