Research Home Page

Welcome to the homepage of the SmartStart Queensland research project. If you are looking at this website then chances are that you have been involved in our research study looking at people's drinking and drug behaviour before going out at night into entertainment districts. We are also currently looking at people attending the EKKA day races at Doomben - assessing people on the way in and on the way out.

During this research we gave people a business card listing this website to peruse the information sheet again and have the opportunity to remove their data from the research. Here you will find the information sheet that explains the study, updates to our research programme and details concerning the study and how to contact us. These can be obtained via the links on the left of this page, at the top of this page or below:
