The Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System (EDRS) is a national drug monitoring system intended to identify emerging trends of local and national concern in illicit drug markets, and form part of Drug Trends

Australian population data and data from the EDRS suggest an increase in cocaine use. This bulletin aims to investigate past six-month cocaine consumption and associated behaviours (i.e., overdose, bingeing, driving under the influence of cocaine) amongst EDRS participants in Canberra, ACT, from 2003-2021.
