STUDY ON GAY MEN’S DRUG USAGE

Tue, 19 June 2012

Health4Men, which provides sexual health services for men who have sex with men (MSM) across the country, would like you take its anonymous survey on recreational drug use among gay and bisexual men in order to better understand the issue.

The organisation has received Dutch funding specifically to develop harm-reduction services for men who use recreational drugs in South Africa, but need to get a grip on the scope and nature of the phenomenon.

“We know that recreational substance use is a huge problem among our community but there’s still much we don’t understand. Hence the need for a questionnaire which we’re administering online in order to guarantee respondents’ confidentiality,” explains Health4Men’s Glenn de Swardt.

The research component of the project has received clearance from the ethics committee at the University of Cape Town.

The comprehensive questionnaire addresses recreational substance use and sexual behaviour, and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
