Drug Policy Modelling Program
@dpmp-unsw.bsky.social
The Drug Policy Modelling Program (DPMP), based at the Social Policy Research Centre at UNSW Sydney, generates timely and relevant insights, ideas, and interventions to address current drug policy issues.
The DPMP team had a fantastic time attending #APSAD2025. It was a wonderful opportunity to share our latest findings through presentations, posters, and resources, while connecting with colleagues from across Australasia. A big thank you to @apsad-dar.bsky.social for hosting another insightful event

🧐 Have you asked yourself ‘what is drug policy research’? Is it studies of decisions of government, or is it bigger than that?
@alisonritter.bsky.social & Jonah Bunyon have a go at tackling this issue, by analysing papers published in @ijdrugpolicy.bsky.social

Take our survey!
Here at DPMP (UNSW), alongside the Matilda Centre (USYD), we are conducting a project about the values of people who work in drug policy (in any way) and the relationship between values and policy preferences.

What do you think about the regulation of drugs? New survey launched looking at drug policy preferences and values. If you work in Australia in the alcohol, tobacco or other drug field (in any way), we’d like to hear your views.
