Global Drug Survey is back for 2020!
As well as the usual modules that measure your drug use (and use of the darknet, my favourite!), this year we have a few new modules, including on MDMA dosing and re-dosing practices, the use of cannabis CBD products, more on psychedelic treatment, and a profile of your last big night/day/weekend out!
This last one is my favourite new addition which you can read all about here. In brief, we will collect event based descriptions of people's more recent big session with drugs, e.g. a clubbing adventure, a big house party, a multi-day festival, etc. We will be able to compare experiences across the world in terms of good and bad times. We also ask about use of health/safety services at events, and what you'd like to have available.

Details:
- Study is open now and ends on 30 December 2019. Results will be disseminated publicly May 2020.
- Ethics approvals have been granted by UCL, UNSW, & UQ.
- Anyone is in scope to do the survey, even if your recent drug use is low or nil!
- The survey length depends on your history of drug use and which modules you elect do (no questions are 'forced'). 15-30 minutes is normal but some people can take much longer, e.g. up to an hour.
- The survey is anonymous and no payments or incentives are offered. Your data will help GDS continue to develop free harm reduction resources.
- You can contact Dr Monica Barratt (RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia) for more information about Global Drug Survey (or just PM me here @Tronica)
- You can read more about Global Drug Survey, the study and the organisation, which has been doing annual surveys of drugs for 8 years now as GDS and over a decade in total (including surveys in MixMag).
