National Drug Strategy Household Survey, 2022-2023

Our Community Norms as well as good scientific practices expect that proper credit is given via citation. Please use the data citation shown on the dataset page.

Custom Dataset Terms — the following Custom Dataset Terms have been defined for this dataset.

1. I have signed and completed the 2022–2023 National Drug Strategy Household Survey Confidentiality Undertaking Form.
2. Unweighted counts will not be published. If publication of unweighted counts is required, approval will need to be sought and granted from the AIHW.
3. Any report or public results will identify the AIHW as the source of the data and acknowledge the NDSHS and the Australian Data Archive.
4. Data from the National Drug Strategy Household Survey CURF will not be linked with any other data.
5. All data will be tested for data quality issues. If the estimate has a relative standard error (RSE) between 25-50%, authors must indicate caution in published work; if the RSE is between 51% to 90%, authors must indicate in published work that the estimate has a high level of sampling error meaning that it is unsuitable for most uses; if the RSE is greater than 90%, the estimate must not be used or published.
6. Cell sizes less than five will not be included in any report or publication.
7. Base sizes less than thirty will not be included in any report or publication.
8. Results using denominators from one cluster (only one SA2 in ‘rest of state’ strata excluding major regional centres, or only one SA1 elsewhere) will not be included in any report or publication.
9. I have read the AIHW Policy on reporting to manage confidentiality and reliability and agree that any publication of data from the NDSHS CURF will comply with the policy.
10. All things necessary will be done to ensure data will be stored on a secure serve in an access restricted environment, and will be protected at all times from: Unauthorised access or use by a third party, or anyone who has not submitted a signed Confidentiality Undertaking Form; and Misuse, damage or destruction by any person (including through botnet and denial of service attacks and any other phishing emails or related activities, trojan, worm, or malware).
11. I will implement protective measures for the CURF materials that are: No less rigorous than the accepted industry standards, particularly the relevant provisions of the Australian Government Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) and Information Security Manual (ISM); and Commensurate with the consequences and probability of unauthorised access to, or use, misuse or loss of, the relevant CURF materials.
12. Data will be destroyed on completion of research or within 7 years from the date signed in the confidentiality undertaking, or if the organisation ceases operation.
13. Before publishing any research based on this data, a copy of the report/research will be provided to the AIHW at least one week before public release (please email your research to aod@aihw.gov.au). Failure to do so may result in your access to the NDSHS CURF being revoked.
14. If I become aware of a known, or threatened privacy or data breach (incident), or have reasonable grounds to suspect that an incident that relates to information or data that I have been given access to related to this CURF has occurred, I will:
    
    • Notify the AIHW promptly by telephone and in writing (aod@aihw.gov.au), and in any event, no longer than 12 hours after becoming aware of the incident.
    • Confirm the details of the incident as soon as practicable, and in any event no longer than 5 business days after becoming aware of the incident
    • Comply with any directions issued by the AIHW in connection with the incident, including:
      • Notifying any relevant regulatory body as required by the AIHW or legislation.
      • Obtaining, and preserving for a period of no less than 12 months, evidence about how, when and by whom the incident has or may have compromised or accessed CURF materials.
      • Providing any evidence about how, when and by whom the incident has or may have compromised or accessed CURF materials to the AIHW on request.
      • Implementing mitigation strategies to reduce the impact of the incident or the likelihood or impact of any future incidents.
      • Any other direction that the AIHW considers necessary to manage the risks associated with the loss of any CURF materials.
