1. There are two programs being conducted in 2011/2012. These are The
Alcohol.Think Again
Campaign and the
Drug
Aware Campaign.
The
Alcohol. Think
Again Campaign is run by the Drug and Alcohol Office, in partnership with the Injury Control Council of WA. The campaign includes two television advertisements that form the current advertising strategy of the
Alcohol.Think Again
Campaign. The television advertisements focus on preventing and reducing harmful alcohol use.
The
Drug Aware
Campaign is run by the Drug and Alcohol Office, in partnership with the Western Australian Network of Alcohol and Other Drug Agencies. This campaign targets young people with messages about illegal drug use that focus on the prevention of use and associated harm. In 2011/12 the campaign is focussing on amphetamines, ecstasy, cannabis and related issues.
A campaign was also launched by the Drug and Alcohol office on 9 September 2011 to prevent Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). The campaign is one part of a broader project which has come about through the Council of Australian Governments Indigenous Early Childhood Development Partnership Agreement.
In addition to the above-mentioned campaigns, a
Drug Aware
Drug Driving Prevention Campaign has also been developed. The campaign is funded through the Road Trauma Trust Fund.
2. There are four planned phases of the
Alcohol.Think Again
campaign per year (over the next five years) at a total cost of $600-800k per annum.
There are four planned campaigns of the
Drug Aware
campaign per year (over the next five years) at a total cost of $800k-$1m per annum.
3. The campaigns will be run state-wide and will be complemented by local and regional level community action initiatives.
4. Formative research is currently being conducted to consolidate the strategic directions for the campaigns over the next five years.
5. It is expected that the future directions of the
Alcohol.Think Again
campaign will continue to focus on addressing the health impacts of harmful alcohol use.
It is expected that the future directions of the
Drug Aware
Campaign will continue to focus on preventing and/or delaying the uptake of illegal drug use; reducing the frequency and amount of illegal drug use amongst occasional and frequent users; and increasing access to support services at an early stage by increasing awareness of the potential health, social and legal consequences of illegal drug use and increasing the salience of the potential risks associated with illegal drug use.
6. Please see answer to Question 2.
7. The campaigns will be run state-wide and will be complemented by local and regional level community action initiatives.
