projectbetween The University of Sydney Union and the
HealthEducation Unit.
This partnership will enable a more coordinated,
formalised and evidence-based drug and alcohol program at the
University of Sydney.
The identified aims of the program were
to:
- Investigate current levels of alcohol and drug
use amongst Sydney University students.
- Investigate present levels of knowledge about,
and attitudes towards, drug and alcohol use amongst University of
Sydney students.
- Ensure student input and involvement in all
of the stages of the project and therefore maximize student
ownership and participation.
- Design initiatives that were appropriate to
the target audience, within budget, and sustainable.

and reduce the possibility of drug and alcohol related harm
amongst University of Sydney students.
