An international survey on the awareness, use, preference, and health perception of novel psychoactive substances (NPS)

ConclusionsThese survey data indicate that awareness of NPS and, importantly, perception of the potential health risks associated with NPS use is lacking. NPS awareness and use is higher in those in employment but is unaffected by level of education. This highlights the need for targeted drugs education intervention by policy‐makers in schools and universities.
