Patterns of amphetamine use: Initial findings from the Amphetamines in Queensland research project by Dr Mark Lynch, Robert Kemp, Leigh Krenske, Andrew Conroy and Julianne Webster reports on The Amphetamines in Queensland (AIQ) research project, which was developed in response to growing concerns of law enforcement and health agencies about the increased use of amphetamines in Queensland.
The project used a peer research model to collect information on the views and experiences of amphetamine users in Queensland. Peer researchers interviewed 690 respondents in both rural and urban areas throughout Queensland. A data quality audit was conducted, which found that 665 of these interviews were conducted to a satisfactory or high standard. Accordingly, the results presented in this report are based on a sample of 665.
