First published online on April 25, 2024, the research uses Global Drug Survey 2022. New Zealand contributed the largest share of respondents. Roughly a quarter of the reported incidents occurred in private homes.

Interpreting the findings

Among respondents reporting drink-spiking experiences, 7.2% said they contacted police. These were self-reported accounts, not toxicologically confirmed incidents.
