Reports

A 40-page report, ‘Alcohol and Drug Policies and Practices - Research on Sports Clubs in New Zealand’, was launched by CAYAD at the 2011 Sport and Alcohol Conference.

A questionnaire was sent to 15 representative sports clubs, each identified as having made positive steps towards the reduction of alcohol and drug related harm.
