Drug Driving in New Zealand: A survey of community attitudes, experience and understanding

23 October 2009

Little is known about the prevalence of drug driving in New Zealand, and even less is known about New Zealanders attitudes and knowledge around driving under the influence of drugs other than alcohol. To help fill this knowledge gap, the New Zealand Drug Foundation conducted a general population survey to assess New Zealanders’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviours around driving under the influence of psychoactive substances, including illicit drugs, prescription medicines, and alcohol. The research report has now been published, which includes a useful summary of current international literature on drug driving.
