Music festival attendees' illicit drug use, knowledge and practices regarding drug content and purity: a cross-sectional survey - Critical Appraisal
VerifiedAI Summary
This critical appraisal provides an overview of a cross-sectional survey on music festival attendees' illicit drug use, knowledge and practices regarding drug content and purity. The study aimed to increase the understanding of behaviour and attitudes in music festival attendees towards drug checking service. The survey research design was used to collect data, and SPSS version 22 was used to analyse the research results. The study found that drug checking at music festivals increases the knowledge and practice regarding drug harm and reduces the risk of using illicit drug behaviour. The paper also discusses barriers to the application of research findings in practice.
