Dear Respondent,

SADAG wants to thank you for taking some time to consider being part of our short online survey on substance use in South Africa. The online survey only has 12 questions and should take around 5 minutes to fill in.

SADAG is a mental health advocacy group that provides free telephonic counselling and support to South Africans in need. This survey is our attempt to try and gain a better understanding of substance use in South Africa. We really need your help and would appreciate it if you could give us a few minutes of your time. For this survey on substance use, we would like to know about the substance(s) you've used and also learn about your general psychological and social well-being. The information gathered will be completely anonymous and confidential, and the data will help SADAG develop better support programmes and awareness campaigns on substance use and abuse.

If you choose not to complete the survey, we completely understand and there will be no repercussions for you. If you do decide to complete the survey, please click on the link provided and know that your identity will be kept confidential and your answers cannot be traced back to you. We shall store the data securely and will happily provide you with an infographic, summing up the results to be published on the SADAG website in due course.

If you or a loved one needs any help, support or counselling, please call the 24 hour Substance Abuse Helpline 0800 12 13 14 or sms 32312 and we will call you back.
