Survey for E users: Personality, Harm-Reduction and Risk-taking Behaviours

[geranium]

Hi,

I am a researcher from the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia. I'm looking for people who have used ecstasy in the last 6 months to contribute to a study that is investigating the relationship between the personality traits of impulsiveness and conscientiousness, and how they may influence risk-taking and harm reduction behaviours.

Taking part involves completing questionnaires and should take no more than 30 minutes. Questions ask about drug use and health, driving practices and sexual experiences, as well as questionnaires about your personality style.

To thank you for your participation, you may choose to enter a prize draw to win one of three $100 amazon.com gift certificates.

The questionnaires are online and are hosted on a fully encrypted SSL-secured website to protect your anonymity. Our server uses a 128bit encryption backed by Verisign, which is the same level of encryption used by banks and the Australian Tax Office; therefore, the responses you give remain completely anonymous and confidential.

To find out more information about the study please visit

For further information, you may contact me on epersonality@psychol.utas.edu.au

Thanks!

hi all, just a quick word of thanks to those of you who've taken the time to do the survey.
for others who may be interested, the survey is still open and more responses are needed!
cheers all

well most of us are unsure if we should take the survey because this place is Legal Highs Forums and we are therefore not frequent MDMA users lol. the stimulants we consume are not nearly as empathogenic as MDMA so I hope you understand the ppl that answered your survey are probably tainting your results. also, mephedrone for example bestows an intense feeling of hypervigilance.... the thoughts that go through my head... there is nothing i can't do or am afraid of doing! therefore conditioning on mephedrone means a person is more likely to be an impulsive risk-taker than an MDMA user....

the easier thing would be for you to generalize your research to stimulants as a class of drugs. otherwise you should collect hundreds of surveys with many detailed questions pertaining to the physical appearance of their MDMA "powder/tablet? smell? color?" etc. etc.... so you can filter out and narrow things down accurately....

hi holdout, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated
in terms of the current survey, i am looking for anyone who has used MDMA in the last six months, preferably on a regular basis (on average at least once a month).
so this survey is open to any and all self-reported ecstasy users, regardless of any other licit or illicit substances they may also consume.
however your point will certainly be kept in mind for future research!
thanks
