Participants,
My name is Aishling Keating and I am currently in my final year doing an Honours degree in Social Studies in ITB. As part as my final year I have to undertake a research project as part of my course requirements and for me to complete the project I need students of ITB to answer my questionnaire.

The objective of this research is to see how common drug use is in ITB and the effects it has on students, so it is necessary to gain a perspective from you in relation to your experience around this area. Participants will be chosen at random to provide information and opinions about this topic and no responses/opinions are right or wrong.

The questionnaire will be broken down into following sections allowing you to gain a clearer understanding of what is being asked:
1. Participants details
2. Drugs and ITB
3. Personal relationship with drugs

Complete anonymity is guaranteed and there will be no way of linking responses to individuals. You may withdraw from answering any questions in this questionnaire if it causes you distress and feel free to withdraw from the survey if you wish. I would really appreciate if you would take the time to answer this questionnaire honestly and truthfully.

Thank you
Aishling Keating ([email protected])

If you have been affected by drug related issues or if this questionnaire has affected you in anyway and you need someone to talk to, the student counsellor is a free confidential service available to students of ITB.
