Recruiting [NZ] Aotearoa Ketamine Survey

[JaiWhelan]

Tēnā koutou katoa, greetings everyone,

I just wanted to share a new Aotearoa New Zealand study regarding illicit ketamine use. The overall aim of the research project is to investigate ketamine use in Aotearoa New Zealand. We want to find out what motivates use, whether adverse experiences or dependence are common, how ketamine use harms or benefits people, and whether harm reduction practices are used by people who use ketamine. Specifically, this research looks to answer:

• What does ketamine use look like in Aotearoa?
• What adverse effects, harms, and benefits, do people who use ketamine in Aotearoa experience?
• What harm reduction practices are utilised by people who use ketamine in Aotearoa?

This research was informed by those with lived experience of drug use, including ketamine.

We are seeking participants who:

• Have used ketamine in in the past 5 years (in Aotearoa New Zealand)
• Are aged 18 years or older
• Speak English
• Currently live in Aotearoa New Zealand

The survey is likely to take 20-30mins to complete, depending on your responses. If you complete the survey, you can enter the draw to win 1 of 10, $50 e-vouchers. The survey is hosted by REDCap and data is securely stored. The study was approved by the University of Otago Human Ethics Committee (Ref: 25/0783).
