Reducing harms for people who use image and performance enhancing drugs
ROIDTrends: Real World Observations of Image and Performance Enhancing Drug Trends, turns community drug-checking results into public data on the substances circulating in Australia's unregulated IPED market.
What we do
The ROIDTrends program raises awareness on IPED market trends in Australia
Monitor the market
Community members test products with PEDTest reagent kits and submit the results. Each submission records the drug, the formulation, what the label claimed and what the test found.
Survey in context
A short survey at the point of submission captures how people use IPEDs, what they do with test results, and how access to services changes over time, anonymously, linked across submissions.
Share what we find
Findings are published in rolling surveillance summaries and bulletins.
