  • youth and illicit drugs
  • climate change
  • pandemic influenza
  • harm minimisation of problem gambling
  • HIV stigma and discrimination
  • immunisation
  • unplanned pregnancy
  • business debt
  • overweight and obesity
  • sexually transmitted infections
  • cybersafety and use of social networking sites
  • lifestyle risk factors (alcohol, diet, smoking)
  • digital media literacy

A key area of expertise for GfK Blue Moon Social Research is strategic communications research. We have a strong appreciation for the complexities of the industry through extensive previous experience in exploratory and communication research for Australian Government departments and state agencies.

As a result we have developed a practical understanding of the unique needs of government and regulatory organisations in both communicating with the Australian public and understanding their views. We have conducted ‘end-to-end' research on a range of significant government communication campaigns.
