DRUGS AWARENESS SURVEY REPORT - January 2000.

This report looks at approximately 300 Drugs Awareness Survey questionnaires, collected between July 1998 and October 1999. The majority of these were completed at local community events and CDEP training sessions in the boroughs of Lewisham, Lambeth and Southwark. By the nature of the survey's distribution, the sample was self-selecting.

The questionnaire is split into seven sections. These include: demographic information; awareness of drugs; opinions on drug education in general and specifically for children and young people; and personal experience of drugs. The report will discuss the data under each of these sections and summarise key findings. The following two sections compare data from parents with the overall sample and compare responses from different ethnic groups within the sample. Key points arising from this data will also be summarised. The final section makes recommendations for future use of the survey.
