Hi All,
Hi my name is Dr Cameron Duff and I work in research at the Centre for Youth Drug Studies here in Melbourne. Here at the centre we've just launched an on-line web survey on the subject of GHB use in Victoria.
I'd like to get as many people as possible to complete the on-line survey to help us plan more effective harm reduction and education strategies for GHB users. We are currently working with ravesafe Victoria in the development of these harm reduction strategies.
We are interested in the views of both users and non-users of GHB in order to get a better picture of the context of GHB use in Melbourne. The online survey should only take about 5 or 10 minutes to complete and is of course completely confidential and anonymous. The survey’s also very easy to complete – it’s mostly just yes and no answers that are required.
the survey is available at

Many thanks,
Cameron
I've also attached the research background and blurb for those who are interested!
RESEARCH BACKGROUND
This research is motivated primarily by our concerns about recent increases in the use of GHB across Melbourne, and the subsequent rise in GHB related overdoses and presentations at Melbourne Hospitals. Whilst we know that more people are using GHB in Melbourne, we don’t really know enough about the various cultures and contexts surrounding the use of GHB here. I mean, we don’t know how people are typically using this drug, where they use it and how often they use. We don’t know what types of harms are associated with the use of this drug for people and how often users might experience these more harmful side effects. This has made the planning of effective prevention and harm minimisation strategies very difficult.
Really, our principal aim with this research is to talk with as many GHB users as possible to try and get a sense of where people are using this drug; what they enjoy about using this drug; what they dislike and what they think about the overdose risks associated with GHB use. We hope that in completing this research we will be able to develop more effective harm reduction strategies that agencies like the Australian Drug Foundation and Ravesafe might be able to use to help people stay safe if they decide to use this drug.
And this is why we are really trying to encourage people to complete the on-line survey that we have developed. GHB Survey
