One of the things that was so important about the standing up of this particular trial initiative was the fact that it was co-designed with and we worked very closely with the communities, bearing in mind that the four communities that are participating in the trial voluntarily put forward their communities to be part of the trial. We worked very closely with those communities to ensure the outcomes we're seeking to achieve, which are better community outcomes, as listed. I don't need to repeat them all to you; they have previously resulted from a prevalence of drug, alcohol and gambling addiction and abuse. We work with the communities to make sure that those outcomes are appropriate and that the people are being appropriately targeted to make sure we deliver the good outcomes the community have requested by voluntary participation in this particular program.

What was your second question?
