This survey was completed with 1,295 territorial residents in communities throughout the Northwest Territories. The 2002 NWT Alcohol & Drug Survey collected information on patterns of alcohol and drug use of territorial residents. In addition, information was collected on the impact of alcohol use on territorial communities, the use of marijuana and other drugs, and solvents use in the Northwest Territories. Information was also collected in the survey on tobacco use and on gambling activities of territorial residents.

The NWT Bureau of Statistics, on behalf of the GNWT Department of Executive and the Coalition Against Family Violence, conducted a Family Violence survey. A joint committee composed of representatives from all groups designed the survey instrument.
