Drug and Alcohol Problems Perception Survey

Wentworth Health (Nepean Blue Mountains PHN) and Lives Lived Well
GP and Pharmacist AOD Consultation and Survey

Thank you for agreeing to participate in this survey. Please note that information you provide will remain strictly confidential and participation is completely voluntary.

What is in this survey?
The AOD GP and Pharmacist Survey is a short preliminary survey that will take about 5 minutes to complete and will provide us with an overview of the context of AOD work within the GP and Primary Care environment. There is an opportunity at the end of the survey to register your interest in a longer follow up consultation with the project lead Dr Graeme Judson.

Who is collecting this information?
The survey is presented both in a paper based and an online format and the information will be held and used by the NBMPHN and Lives Lived Well Project Team.

Privacy statement
Please be assured that your answers are confidential, and you can refuse to answer any question. All information provided will be stored for the duration of the project. Once the report is written all data will be disposed of. The survey gives an opportunity for a longer consultation and asks for your contact details if you are interested in further follow up. Apart from this the survey does not collect any personal information, and any personal information collected incidentally through survey return will be removed from that survey response.

How will the results be used?
Once the survey has been completed, the data will be analysed and a report will be developed. The information gathered through this survey will be used to inform recommendations for the development of a Communities of Practice Framework designed to provide targeted support to people doing AOD work in the GP and Primary Care sector.

Who will be surveyed?
The survey is targeted at GPs and Pharmacists working in the Nepean Blue Mountains region.
