We are a joint research team from Griffith University and the
University of Queensland. The principle researchers have over 25
years of research experience and our research assistants all have at least one higher
education degree to their name.
Our ultimate goal in undertaking this research is to increase safety
for people entering and exiting entertainment precincts by better catering for
their needs. For example, if people are predominantly preloading
(i.e., drinking before going out) we may advise that more street
food outlets and free water be available. We may also revise how
these precincts are policed - making more police available to the
public earlier in the evening.
We also wish to look at people's racial
preference in general and racial sexual preference specifically. In
effect, we want to see whether inebriation mediates the relationship
between general racial preference and sexual preference for
different races.
When we have our results we will compile a report with anonymous
data (i.e., we will not be collecting names or details of
participants) and submit that to our ethics committee. We will also
write a manuscript for publication in the scientific literature.
This data may also form the basis of a student's higher degree
thesis. In all cases we will only have anonymous data. If you would
like a summary of the results please sign-up by
