Understanding recent changes in young people's drug use in the UK

Liverpool John Moores University look forward to welcoming you to our webinar presenting findings from the NIHR-Policy Research Programme funded AMOUNT project (A mixed methods investigation of the individual, sociocultural, and societal factors that underlie the recent increase in substance use among young people to inform policy). 

AMOUNT was an 18-month project investigating some of the reasons for these changes. We used mixed methods, including interviews with a wide range of young people (including those in leisure settings and those attending services), secondary data analysis, and consultation with those working in the field.

In this webinar the researchers will present key findings, describe a framework we developed to help understand changes, and explore the practice and policy implications of our work.
