Drug Research - University of Bristol: Online study of Spice use. Intended for review of current law.

[monodream]

Hello All,

Dr Harry Sumnall (LJMU, UK - me!), Dr Jon Cole (University of Liverpool, UK), and Dr Fiona Measham (University of Lancaster, UK) have launched an exploratory study investigating Spice use. Please note that this study is only currently open to over 18s.

Despite Spice being legally controlled in several countries and discussions on legal status taking place elsewhere, there have been few investigations of its use. This research aims to find out about how people are using Spice and to make a brief assessment of the types of effects they report. Survey results will be shared with health professionals, policy makers, members of the public and other scientists at conferences and in scientific journals.

We have no agenda to pursue with this study and want to ensure that objective and accurate information is supplied to those tasked with reviewing the current laws, and that an assessment of harm reduction and health needs of users is undertaken.

If you have used Spice at least once in the past then please consider taking part.

It should take, at most, 30 minutes to complete the survey, which should be done in one sitting.

Data is submitted to a secure server. The introductory page fully explains the study aims and also offers advice and points to consider about the use of the internet to submit potentially sensitive data.



Thanks very much for reading,
