Why has it only become an issue now? Young drug users' perceptions of drug driving in Melbourne, Victoria
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 09:09 authored by Laura Ann Wilson, Dean WilsonDean WilsonPreliminary research into drug-user perceptions of drug driving was undertaken with a sample group of drug users aged 18 to 24 from Melbourne, Victoria. Eleven males and nine females participated in semi-structured interviews and completed self-report surveys. Participants discussed their drug driving and their perceptions of the likelihood of detection by police for drug driving. This research provides further insight into young people’s perceptions and behaviours in relation to drug use and driving. The perspectives of young people are rarely included in current drug-driving debates and may have possible implications for policy development.
