If you’re aged 16-24 and live in Australia the Drug Policy Modelling Program wants to hear YOUR views on media reporting of drug issues.

Balanced – biased – misleading – whatever!

Why is this important?

• Drugs are one of the most topical issues of media reporting.
• Drugs are also the number one concern for young Australians.
• Young people deserve a voice in how media report on drugs.

Visit www.drugmediasurvey.com to participate in our online survey. It will take only 10-20 minutes and you could WIN a $200 MUSIC VOUCHER!

This study is being conducted by DPMP, UNSW. You don’t need to have tried drugs to participate in this study.

I wouldn't say drugs are my number one concern.

I think I'm obliged not to do your survey because it's affiliated with UNSW and I go to USyd.

Nah, I'll do it... Tomorrow, I promise.

DPMP want to say thank you to everyone who has participated in our survey. We've heard from over 1900 people (including people from every state of Australia) which is a phenomenal response. But we still want to hear from more.

Why?
1. In the proliferating era of multi-media, images such as drug busts, policing at music festivals and overdose victims are becoming even more pervasive
2. We know from related fields that media messages can affect what people and society think about drugs - their knowledge, the policy responses provided and attitudes to drugs

So to participate in the first ever study conducted in Australia into youth attitudes to media reporting on drugs please do our online survey: www.drugmediasurvey.com. It is open to anyone aged 16-24 who lives in Australia.

If you are outside this age group or have already done it please spread the word because the more people we get the more chance we have that our recommendations will be taken up by Government and media. The good news is we've unprecedented interest in this study from Governments and media outlets throughout the country. We think this suggests they know youth opinions do matter. So make sure you give us your opinion
