Creation
Every drug survey is different and we can provide you with exclusive data that relates drug use to exactly what you care about
Our consultation process will see a dedicated research manager meeting to discuss the priorities, scale and nature of your survey. Lines of enquiry can be formulated to suit your editorial interests — such as the links between drugs and sex, driving, violence, family life or other aspects of wellbeing.
Our academic experts will be involved from the very beginning of the process, selected due to their expertise in your interest field. They will develop your tailored survey to collect data about drug use patterns, trends and behavior in your community to the highest academic research standards.
Our core content will provide exclusive data on:
- Drugs that have been used by respondents in the last month and the last year
- The number of days and amount of money spent on drugs (for those who have used them in the last month)
- New and emerging substances, and the associated risks
- The regularity and consequences of being caught with banned substances
- The regularity and reasons of drug takers using medical services
- The problems people experience with drugs and the help that may be wanted
- How people rank the harm caused by various drugs
- Worries about drug use and severe medical harm to friends, families and peers
To allow for comparative global figures, the core content will be consistent across all GDS surveys and we can compare your sample to a different sample group of your choice.
Our survey design process can be formatted to reflect your unique branding and audience, and we work in consultation with a design agency that have been with us from the very beginning and share our values. Your survey can be adapted to fit your audience user requirements and as such can be made available across a variety of platforms — see management for more.
