The Impact of drought on families and communities in rural and regional Australia

The Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) has initiated a project titled ‘The Impact of Drought on Families in Rural and Regional Australia’. As part of this project, AIFS intends to commission a survey of families to enable the analysis of the impact of the recent widespread drought that faces much of regional Australia. The primary purpose of this report is to provide advice on sample design and provide recommendation on how geographic data can be integrated into the analysis of the final data produced.
