This project tackles one of the leading drug policy and organised crime issues in Australia, namely the increased availability of crystal methamphetamine (ice) in rural and regional communities. The first study of its kind nationally, it will use an innovative combination of qualitative and quantitative methods across six communities in three states to uncover how ice infiltrates regional communities, the drivers and mechanisms and impacts thereof. Expected outcomes include a roadmap to reduce supply and harms, strengthened communities and enhanced international collaborations. With ice use and supply costing the Australian government $5 billion per year, the project stands to provide significant social, public health and economic benefits.

该项目解决了澳大利亚主要的毒品政策和有组织犯罪问题之一，即在农村和地区社区增加了冰毒的供应。这是全国范围内的第一项此类研究，它将在三个州的六个社区中采用定性和定量方法的创新组合，揭示冰如何渗透到区域社区、驱动因素、机制和影响。预期成果包括减少供应和危害的路线图、加强社区和加强国际合作。由于冰的使用和供应每年花费澳大利亚政府50亿美元，该项目将提供显著的社会、公共卫生和经济效益。
