Call for Participants

A new study led by researcher Jeordie Shenton at the University of Portsmouth is investigating the prevalence and contributory factors of substance use amongst working musicians. As part of the study, people who earn money from playing, creating and/or performing music (either regularly or sporadically) are invited to complete a survey by answering questions about their use of alcohol, nicotine and caffeine products; prescription and/or over-the-counter medicines; and other substances (including recreational drug use). This survey is open internationally to all working musicians, including instrumentalists, vocalists, DJs, composers, songwriters and producers, from any genre or industry.
