Dear community,
My name is Christophe Soussan and I’m a research coordinator at Karlstad University, Sweden. My colleague, Professor Anette Kjellgren, and I are interested in the motivation for using Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS). By NPS we mean a non-traditional or non-established psychoactive substance that at the time of usage was considered novel. NPS are perhaps more commonly referred to as "legal highs", "designer drugs" or "research chemicals", and often mimic the effects of traditional drugs.
We are looking to recruit people who have used a Novel Psychoactive Substance(s) within the last two years, and are 18 years or older, for participation in a survey. We are aware of the fact that some substances may fall in between the definition of either traditional or novel. If in doubt, it is better that you fill out the survey than refrain from participation all together.
The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to fill out. This is an international study and no restrictions on country of residence exists. The study begins on the first of October and will continue until February 28, 2015. The study is ethically reviewed with the reference number C2014/419. By participating, you contribute to a greater scientific knowledge about the motives for using NPS. The results will be published as a research article during 2015.

Thank you,
