Queensland Drug Trends 2024: Key Findings from the Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System (EDRS) Interviews

�ճ�� Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System (EDRS) is an illicit drug monitoring system which has been conducted in all states and territories of Australia since 2003, and forms part of Drug Trends.

This 2024 EDRS report provides the most up-to-date findings of the EDRS interviews conducted annually from 2003 to 2024 with a cross-sectional sentinel group of people who regularly use ecstasy and other stimulants recruited from Brisbane/Gold Coast, Queensland.

This includes:

A report overviewing the key findings in 2024;
An infographic summarising key findings in 2024;
The executive summary, summarising key findings in 2024 and
Supplementary data tables, providing detailed findings underlying the table and figures within the report.

Results are not representative of all people who use drugs or of 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 Brisbane/Gold Coast, Queensland.
