Project Description
The purpose of this research project is to explore drink and drug driving behaviours for adults in Queensland. If you are aged 18 years or over, live in Queensland and drive (with a learner, P1, P2, open or disqualified license), you are invited to participate in this research project.
This project is funded by the Road Safety Research Collaboration at the University of the Sunshine Coast.
Participation
If you agree to participate in this research project, you will be asked to complete an anonymous online survey. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes dependent on how you answer questions. You will be asked questions about your driving experience, alcohol and drug use, and alcohol and drug driving behaviours.
Your participation is voluntary. If you decide to participate but change your mind during the survey you may exit the survey at any point. However, it is not possible to remove any answers already submitted as we are unable to identify your survey from other surveys. Please also note that once the survey is complete the research team will be unable to remove your responses as they are not identifiable.

Consent for participation will be confirmed via a survey question. Consent is for your responses to the survey questions to be collected, stored, and used in analysis and publications in a non-identifiable format. In addition, consent is for your anonymous data and information to be utilised for ethics-approved projects undertaken in the future by the Road Safety Research Collaboration team.
