N2  - Early adolescence is associated with high rates of experimental inhalant misuse, but only a minority continue to inhale on a regular basis. Inhalant misuse is associated with a range of adverse outcomes, including reports of increased morbidity and mortality. Research into inhalant use among adolescents is lacking, with limited data available on long-term outcomes or evidence-based approaches to treatment. Legislative and supply-reduction strategies have been introduced by a number of states and territories over recent years, but direct funding for specific targeted interventions is lacking. Investment and commitment to a national research framework, as well as coordination of local services, is urgently required.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
