Addressing gender and sexuality in drug education

这个项目的目的是产生关于年轻人对毒品的关注与禁毒教育的优先事项之间关系的新知识。酒精和非法药物使用每年使澳大利亚损失近400亿美元，是澳大利亚年轻人疾病总负担的主要因素。毒品教育是用于减少青少年酗酒和与非法毒品有关的伤害的一项关键战略，但它一直受到批评，因为它无法有效地解决青年问题，包括性别和性方面的伤害。该项目的预期成果包括提供更有效和公平的毒品教育材料。总的来说，该项目力求减少澳大利亚年轻人中与酒精和非法毒品有关的伤害。

This project aims to generate new knowledge on the relationship between young people’s concerns about drugs and the priorities informing drug education. Alcohol and illicit drug use costs Australia almost $40 billion per year and is a leading contributor to total burden of disease for young Australians. Drug education is a key strategy used to reduce youth alcohol and illicit drug-related harm, yet it has been the subject of sustained criticism for its inability to address youth effectively, including the gendered and sexual dimensions of harm. Outcomes expected from this project include more effective and equitable drug education materials. Overall, the project seeks to reduce alcohol and illicit drug-related harm among young Australians.
