本研究旨在确定舞蹈药物使用者在其吸毒行为中采用的减少伤害的做法，以及舞蹈药物与处方/非处方药物共同使用的程度。采用方便抽样法和关键信息获取法对125名受访者进行问卷调查。大多数答复者，特别是女性，表示她们采用了减少伤害的做法。其中最受欢迎的是喝水和“放松”。不到一半的受访者曾将舞蹈药物与其他处方或非处方药物一起服用。女性很可能将两者混合在一起。这项研究强调了未来禁毒教育政策可能需要考虑的领域。
This study aimed to identify harm-reduction practices that users of dance drugs applied in relation to their drug-taking behaviour and also the extent of co-use between dance drugs and prescribed/'over the counter' medication. Data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire from 125 respondents recruited by convenience sampling and the Key Informant Access method. The majority of respondents, especially females, indicated that they applied harm reduction practices. The most popular of these were drinking water and 'chilling out'. Just under half of all respondents had taken dance drugs with other prescribed or over the counter' medication. Females were significantly likely to mix the two. This study highlights areas where future policies on drugs education may have to be considered.
