The ASSIST-BI project team would like to extend our gratitude to all those who attended our ASSIST blue-sky meeting in Canberra this week.
The purpose of the meeting was to bring together a range of key experts in screening and brief interventions for substance use disorders with a plan to update the ASSIST training materials for the future. The group spent 1.5 days discussing and debating potential areas for consolidation and improvement, and we feel that significant steps forward were taken as a result.
On behalf of the ASSIST-BI project team, we are immensely grateful to you all for your support and engagement.

Residents of Hawke's Bay, NZ. Please be advised of a high risk drug alert.
Dimethylpentylone, a synthetic cathinone and powerful stimulant, is being misrepresented as MDMA. Some NZ residents have been hospitalised after mixing what they thought was MDMA with benzodiazepines and alcohol.
Mixing stimulant drugs and depressants can mask the effects of each, meaning individuals take a higher dose than normal which increases the risk of overdose and harm.
