Enabling evidence-informed policy to address Australia's opioid crisis [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Australia has seen a near doubling of opioid-related mortality in the past decade. Recently, a range of state and national policy changes have been made to address the growing number of opioid-related deaths, yet the evidence for these kinds of policy changes is conflicting. This study will use prescribing data from general practice in combination with hospital data to understand the impact of three types of Australian policy interventions on opioid prescribing and opioid-related harm.
