Hospital emergency and research professionals worked with schools to explore knowledge and perceptions. The project combined questionnaires, workshops and discussion groups.
Understanding the sample
More than 700 students attended workshops across twelve schools. The preliminary survey had a 54% response among 660 invited pupils; attendance and survey responses are different measures.
From emergency care to the classroom
The hospital had an earlier, specific research project: an analysis of patients presenting with suspected drugging during summer 2022 received a regional research award in 2023. That clinical work and the school intervention examine different populations. Their figures cannot be combined into one measure of prevalence or incidence.
Context matters
Findings from a local intervention, not a national estimate.
