- Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a challenging developmental disability that requires ongoing support, which is often scarce due to a lack of trained professionals and funding.

- - New Zealand's drug market is distinctive, particularly among gay and bisexual men (GBM), yet there's limited research on how drug use impacts sexual behavior, especially with biomedical HIV prevention.

- - Results show that sexualized drug users are typically more connected to the gay community, frequently test for HIV, and often use preventive measures like PrEP, indicating a need for targeted prevention strategies for those with less intense sexual behaviors.
