The Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System (EDRS) is an illicit drug monitoring system, co-ordinated nationally by NDARC as part of the Drug Trends Project, that has been conducted in all states and territories of Australia since 2003.
This year, project outputs from the WA EDRS include a suite of products with the most up-to-date findings from interviews conducted annually from 2003-2021 with a cross-sectional sentinel group of people who regularly use ecstasy and other illicit stimulants in Perth, Western Australia.
This includes a report and infographic summary of key findings in 2021 as well as supplementary data tables providing detailed findings underlying the tables and figures within the report.
Note: Results are not representative of all consumers or drug use in the general population and should be interpreted alongside findings from other data sources for a more complete profile of emerging trends in illicit drug use in Australia.
