New psychoactive substances: user profiles and pratices
An online survey among users of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) was conducted in France, the Netherlands, Poland and the Czech Republic in 2014, in the context of the I-TREND project, supported by the European Commission.
It aimed to gain greater insight into the profiles, motivations and practices of individuals having tried or using these substances.
Focusing on individuals having used a NPS in the last 12 months, this text will examine the contexts and reasons for use on the most recent occasion, together with practices in terms of use.
It will then examine the channels used to purchase the products, notably online purchases, issues relating to information on NPS, ending with a brief insight into the opinion of the respondents on the properties and dangers of NPS compared to "established" drugs.
