This report shows a summary of the results of the first online survey on Drugs Misuse, Trends and Behaviours undertaken by the NICDTF in April 2012.

Invitations to participate were sent to 87 individuals in organisations linked to the 3 NICDTF sub-groups: Treatment & Rehabilitation, Prevention & Education, and Supply Control. It was issued on the 2nd of April 2012 and the survey was closed on the 16th April 2012.

19 completed surveys were returned, all from separate organisations based in the NICDTF area. 13 of these organisations worked primarily with adults, 5 mainly with youth (12 to 23) and their families, and 1 with children (under 12) and their families.

The survey was designed to be quick and easy to complete using mainly multiple-choice and rating scale questions, and with minimal text input required.
