Policy and Advocacy: Research and reports

New Zealand has a history of effective initiatives around many road safety concerns such as seat belt use, speeding, and drink driving. However, driving under the influence of drugs other than alcohol has gone largely unmonitored and unenforced.  The introduction of new drug driving enforcement legislation for New Zealand inspired the Drug Foundation to investigate the drug driving issue in an effort to fill a gap in New Zealand drug driving research. 

On July 4 2005, the New Zealand Drug Foundation hosted a national workshop, Reducing crime through best practice on alcohol and other drugs in prison settings, at Te Papa Tongarewa, the Museum of New Zealand, in Wellington.
