The Chemsex study: drug use in sexual settings among gay and bisexual men in Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham
The Chemsex Study: drug use in sexual settings among gay and bisexual men in Lambeth, Southwark Lewisham was the driving force behind the conception of this study and he provided significant practical and intellectual support at every stage. It could not have happened without him. A large number of other people also contributed to the success of this project. (Chemsex community forums) the Vauxhall One business association, Uli Lenart and Jimmy MacSweeney (Gay's the Word) Christopher Camplin, and Matthew Hodson (GMFA) We particularly wish to acknowledge the support of the Metro Centre staff and volunteers (especially David Naylor, Rob Wardle and Tony Furlong) for helping to inform the study, as well as hosting and participating in focus groups. Thanks to Kathie Granger for her expert project administration, to Gary Hammond for proofreading and to Sian Cook for her design of this report. Finally, this study would not have been possible without thirty men stepping forward to talk openly and honestly with us about their experiences. We are greatly indebted to them. We also sincerely thank all those who took part in focus groups, as well as the staff and volunteers from community based organisations and sexual health clinics who gave up their time to share their thoughts and experiences.
