Drug and Alcohol Research Project

Vicdeaf has funding to research alcohol and other drug use among Deaf people in Australia. Turning Point Alcohol and Drug Centre is working with Vicdeaf and is asking people across Australia to fill in a 30-minute online survey.
There are no prizes, but you will be helping the community, because the results will be used to advocate for better information and services for Deaf.
The survey is anonymous- you do not have to put your name on it.
Pass it on! We encourage you to tell other people about the survey, and to help them access a computer if they don’t have one, eg in a library or neighbourhood house. We would like lots of people to complete the survey, so that we gather enough information.
