Project description: 

Funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care, this research project will involve a survey of the e-cigarette policies currently in place at alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment services. The research team intends to explore the e-cigarette-related policies implemented at AOD treatment services, evaluate any differences between these policies and those for tobacco smoking, and determine if e-cigarette cessation treatment is available at these services. To help direct the development of future policies in AOD treatment services, the project's findings will be shared as a resource that outlines the implementation of existing policies.
