Indigenous substance misuse [CD, brochure and
flyer]
Perth: Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet
![Indigenous alcohol misuse information [CD-ROM, brochure and flyer]](../../../../../graphics/graphics_community/alcohol/indigenous_alcohol_cd-rom_brochure.gif "Indigenous alcohol misuse information [CD-ROM, brochure and flyer]")
The Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet has developed a range of web resources and yarning places (electronic networks) addressing alcohol misuse, inhalant misuse, illicit drug useand the misuse of kava and other drugs. The development of these materials were guided by the Alcohol and other Drugs Reference Group (ADRF) which provides a 'sounding board' to the HealthInfoNet on the development of web-based knowledge resources on the misuse of alcohol and other substances among Indigenous peoples. These exciting improvements in the sharing of information and experiences will assist people working across Australia to address various aspects of Indigenous substance misuse. To promote this initiative, the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet has published a brochure and a CD Rom that provides an introduction to using the web resources and yarning places. The alcohol misuse flyer can be downloaded and distributed for your own purposes.

Indigenous drug education support materials resource
Northern Territory: Education Department
The Indigenous drug education support materials resource was developed primarily for Indigenous school communities as part of the Northern Territory national school drug education strategy project and contains materials for teachers and students. Topic 8 of the resource focuses on drugs. (The resource was developed by the Northern Territory Education Department, but it is included on the South Australian DECS website as it was thought that SA educators, particularly those in remote settings, may find it useful.)
