In 2016 – 2017 there were thirty two percent of treatment episodes followed by amphetamines (twenty six percent). There is a need of more research in this area. (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2019)
• There is a lack of complete data and there is no proper nature and frequency of data collection. Also, there is no properly defined size of the population group (Australian Institute of Health and welfare, 2019)
• In this technological world, there are numbers of health monitoring devices which is not made available to everyone. These digital technologies need to be provided better opportunities. (Australian Institute of Health and welfare, 2019)
