title: Deterrence of Marijuana use among year 10 and year 11 students in NSW, 1992

description: In light of the current drug policy which acts to deter drug use through law enforcement, the study was undertaken to investigate whether the threat of legal punishment has any influence on marijuana use by high school aged students. Using a proven theoretical model, influence was measured both in terms of direct deterrence (e.g. through perceptions of arrest risk and fear of punishment) and indirect deterrence (e.g. physical and material cost of complying or not complying with the law; moral commitment to the law; and informal sanctions imposed by peers, family, or other significant members of the potential user's social network). Emphasis,however, was placed on the former in order to evaluate the effectiveness of law enforcement on drug use and hence its worth as a method of drug control. Respondents were asked questions on their use of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, pain relievers, sedatives, narcotics (e.g. heroin) and other recreational drugs (e.g. stimulants, hallucinogens); the number of times they and/or members of their family had been caught for marijuana possession; the consequences of that arrest; ease, and financial cost, of obtaining marijuana; their perceived risk of being caught for marijuana possession and/or use; their personal view of those who use marijuana and the health risks associated with usage; and the effect the opinions of others has on their own use of marijuana. Background variables include age, sex, parents country of birth, language spoken at home, household composition, and whether the respodent is an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

title: Hidden drug injectors with minimal drug treatment experience:The Fitpack Study, 1995

description: The Fitpack study aimed to describe the characteristics, HIV related knowledge, risk behaviours and service views of injecting drug users (IDU's) using the "Fitpack" syringe and needle-kits distributed to users throughout Western Australian pharmacies. The study attempted to access 'hidden' IDU's with little or no history of drug treatment, as this is a population that most research has typically ignored and yet constitutes the largest group of IDU's. Variables examined included drug treatment history, hepatitis C testing, drug use, and HIV risk behaviour. Background variables included sex, age, marital status, country of birth, employment status, and language spoken at home when growing up.

title: Integrated Health Records, 1998

description: The Integrated Health Records study was undertaken in response to a recommendation made by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Family and Community Affairs for the design and deployment of a national health information system based on integrated health records. In order to identify and describe the key issues involved in the implementation of such a system, interviews were conducted with informants representing major groups in the health industry - consumers, providers, administrators, policy makers, researchers and health informaticians. The results of these interviews have been compiled as a guide-line to policy makers and system developers involved in any future construction of a health information system. Issues covered in the interviews include shortcomings in the existing health information system; potential users of a national information system; potential uses of a national information system; types of benefits accrued from these uses; form in which the national system might take; types of constraints (e.g. legal, social, economic, logistic) that would affect the form of the system; how issues of ownership and privacy affect the implementation of such a system; how a national system could be implemented; barriers that need to be overcome or avoided to successfully implement a national system; costs and risks associated with such a venture and how long it would take to develop and implement the system.

title: Perth AIDS Research Project, 1990

description: The Perth AIDS Research Project (PARP) is a long term, multi-stage research program on health care and AIDS among the people in Perth. The date file was produced by PARP in order to examine unsafe sexual practices among heterosexual, bisexual and gay people and consists of AIDS-related items and sex-related items. The data file is part of a broader study which examines four social correlates of unsafe sexual intercourse for gay, bisexual and heterosexual people. These are (1) alcohol consumption; (2) uncertainty about one's HIV-infection status; (3) learned and shared logic about condoms; and (4) logic about the seriousness of the Aids epidemic. Variables include: knowledge of AIDS transmission, contact with AIDS victims, HIV status, number of times tested, reasons for testing or not testing, evaluation of the testing procedure, sexual orientation and degree of comfort with it, frequency of sexual activity, type of sexual activity, safer sex practices, thoughts about safer sex practices, the AIDS epidemic, alcohol and casual sex.
