What Works
Drug checking and related interventions
Edition 3
In 2019, the deaths of 6 young people at music festivals in Australia connected to MDMA led to local calls for the introduction of drug checking services (sometimes called ‘pill testing’ in Australia) to assist people who use drugs to make safer decisions about the drugs they intend to consume.
Since then, more deaths in Australia have been found to be caused by the unexpected consumption of novel synthetic drugs and resulting in coronial recommendations to implement drug checking services.
