Of those survey respondents who reported having someone in their household who had regularly used drugs in the previous 12
months, the majority indicated this affected their capacity to meet their basic household needs. Twenty percent (n=5) were
frequently unable to meet basic needs and 48% (n=12) were sometimes unable to meet basic needs. Combined, these two groups
of households constituted 6.6% of all households surveyed in 2014. These results are largely consistent with previous survey
findings.
