The mission of the global drug survey is to help people use drugs more safely, regardless of the legal status of the drug, and to promote honest conversations about drug use.
Ever wondered how global drug use trends are tracked and understood? In this episode of 'Addiction Audio', Suzi Gage chats with Adam Winstock, the founder of the Global Drug Survey. This isn't just any survey; it's the largest of its kind, with over 750,000 participants in the past eight years. Adam sheds light on the mission behind the survey, which aims to help people use drugs more safely and foster open conversations about drug use.
The survey covers every type of drug imaginable, from traditional substances to emerging trends like cognitive enhancers. It also delves into how drug policies affect harm reduction. What's fascinating is the survey's non-probability sample method, which helps researchers link patterns of use with both risks and benefits. Promoted through collaborations with major media outlets worldwide, the survey maintains its independence, encouraging a broad range of participants. Adam also shares exciting future plans for the Global Drug Survey.
They aim to create a new platform that offers personalized feedback to participants about their drug use. This platform will also enable long-term cohort studies to monitor usage over time. With a treasure trove of unused data, the organization hopes to answer pressing research questions that could lead to better understanding and safer practices. Tune in to hear more about how the Global Drug Survey is making waves in the field of addiction research and promoting safer drug use practices.
