This is the sixth in a series of surveys auspiced by the National Drug Strategy (and its predecessors) and the first to be conducted by the AIHW. It is a national household survey of non-institutionalised persons aged 14 years and over. There were 10,030 completed responses in 1998. Fieldwork was conducted by Roy Morgan Research.

The survey was conducted across three collection modes: (i) personal interview with a self-complete component for sensitive questions; (ii) self-complete by the youngest second member of the household aged 14 or over; and (iii) self-complete 'drop-and-collect' method. Topics covered include knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of drug-related issues, personal use of drugs (tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs), support for drug-related policies, personal involvement in drug-related activities and victimisation, as well as typical demographics.

A confidentialised unit record file for public access is available at the Social Science Data Archives at the ANU: http://ssda.anu.edu.au Public access to the master unit record data requires application to the AIHW Ethics Committee.
