What is the Purpose of the Survey?
The purpose of this survey is to better understand the experiences of children and young people (aged 13-24) in relation to substances such as tobacco, vapes, alcohol and drugs. The findings will help identify the types of support young people in Essex may need – whether or not they are currently using substances. This survey is part of a broader project that also includes interviews and data from individuals in treatment. Our aim is to gain a deeper understanding of how young people think about and experience substance use, the challenges they face and the ways they cope or seek support.
