Emerging Drugs Network of Australia: a coordinated toxicosurveillance system of illicit drug use in Australia to enable rapid detection and harm reduction responses via an Early Warning System [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description The Emerging Drugs Network of Australia brings together emergency physicians, toxicologists and forensic laboratories across the country to build a national surveillance and early warning system of illicit and emerging drugs. Our innovative approach will use laboratory confirmed data to identify the specific drugs resulting in emergency department presentations, and use this information to inform rapid, evidence-based public health responses to reduce further drug-related harm in the community.
