I took it.

....interesting. I definitely can't see how those questions could be deliberately skewed at all....

Thanks for completing it. Feel free to tell your friends. This survey made me realised how old I am At 30, I now realise most of my friends are not young enough to participate

blarg, all surveys have that problem of being completed by people who to skew results. It's difficult to stop deliberate deception. I think the best way to minimise it is to reduce incentives to be dishonest or to make up answers. Being over 25 years of age, I wasn't able to complete the whole survey myself so can't comment directly on the contents of it.

The study is now complete and the OP in the process of writing up the findings about patterns of drug use and attitudes for apeer-review publication.

In the mean-time she suggested taking a look at http://www.health.gov.au/internet/drugs/publishing.nsf/content/campaign4, which details the results of ecstasy users’ perception of the mediacampaign that was in place at the time.
