Transformed drug policies: Integrating empirical evidence with participatory democracy [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Alison Ritter (Principal investigator)

Brief description In my 5 year research fellowship I will lead internationally relevant research on better policy options for illegal drugs, such as methamphetamine, heroin and cannabis. Drug policy can be driven by politics and the media, rather than research evidence. I will generate a cutting edge and fresh perspective with an agile approach to new research that takes into account the rapidly changing field of drug policy. This will provide policy makers with a new framework for evidence-based policy reforms.
