Resource Type: Drug Trends Bulletins

Research suggests that substance use is associated with high levels of unsafe and risky sexual health behaviours, which may place people at risk of sexually transmitted diseases. The aim of this bulletin is to describe trends in sexual risk behaviours amongst two samples of people in Adelaide, South Australia (IDRS and EDRS samples), who had engaged in penetrative sex in the six months prior to interview in 2019.
