The study asked over 2,000 Brits about their substance use and estimated that 3.2 million people had used drugs in the UK over the last year. Furthermore, it is predicted that just over 2% of the population are regular drug users. When asked about how they felt drugs affected them, nearly a third (32%) of men stated they are worried about how substance abuse is affecting their body. On the other hand, just less than a quarter (24%) of women expressed the same concern; leading to men being 52% more likely to seek help than women. The survey also looked into drug use during the pandemic, with men being 38% more likely to use drugs during lockdown than women. In addition, 59% of men admitted to using illegal drugs in the last year, while just over half (52%) of women stated the same. Although significantly more men take drugs than women, according to the poll, it was found that a similar number of men and women drink alcohol; with 50% of men and 49% of women saying they had consumed alcohol over the past 12 months. It was also found that cannabis is nearly as common as paracetamol in the UK. Mike Delaney, nurse, physiotherapist and clinical director for Delamere, said: 'When people are forced to be together day in, day out without respite, chemicals such as cocaine can improve mood, make conversation and connection easier and simply make life seem a little less bleak.' http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/Women-are-60percent-more-likely-to-falsely-acquire-prescription-drugs-from-their-GP-than-men-reveals-survey-04965 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/Women-are-60percent-more-likely-to-falsely-acquire-prescription-drugs-from-their-GP-than-men-reveals-survey-04965 Pharma companies 'not doing enough' to reach out to LGBTQ communities: A survey of more than 15,000 members of the LGTBQ community in the US has revealed that almost half those polled believe pharmaceutical companies are not doing enough to reach out and understand the LGTBQ community. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/Pharma-companies-not-doing-enough-to-reach-out-to-LGBTQ-communities-finds-survey-04958 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/Pharma-companies-not-doing-enough-to-reach-out-to-LGBTQ-communities-finds-survey-04958 Six in 10 pharma executives anticipate COVID-19 will 'greatly improve' business outlook: A survey of pharma industry executives has revealed that 60% believe that thee business outlook for pharma manufacturing in the coming year and beyond will greatly improve as a result of Covid-19. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/Six-in-10-pharma-executives-anticipate-COVID-19-will-greatly-improve-business-outlook-reveals-survey-04859 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/Six-in-10-pharma-executives-anticipate-COVID-19-will-greatly-improve-business-outlook-reveals-survey-04859 40% of charity-funded early career scientists have considered leaving research due to pandemic: A survey by the Association of Medical Research Charities' (AMRC) has found that 40% of charity-funded early career scientists have considered leaving research because of funding concerns due to the Covid-19 pandemic. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/40percent-of-charity-funded-early-career-scientists-have-considered-leaving-research-due-to-pandemic-reveals-survey-04825 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/40percent-of-charity-funded-early-career-scientists-have-considered-leaving-research-due-to-pandemic-reveals-survey-04825 More people comfortable sharing health data with pharma companies since COVID-19 outbreak: A survey asking the UK general public about their comfort levels when it comes to sharing their personal health data has found that more people are comfortable sharing information with pharmaceutical companies now, than they were pre-covid. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/More-people-comfortable-sharing-health-data-with-pharma-companies-since-COVID-19-outbreak-04681 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/More-people-comfortable-sharing-health-data-with-pharma-companies-since-COVID-19-outbreak-04681 More than half the pharmacists polled in survey said they worked overtime during the peak of COVID-19, yet 62% said they were not paid for the extra work: A survey of pharmacists has found that more than half of those polled (56%) worked additional hours during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic, yet over three-fifths (62%) did not get paid for the extra time. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/More-than-half-the-pharmacists-polled-in-survey-said-they-worked-overtime-during-the-peak-of-COVID-19-yet-62percent-said-they-were-not-paid-for-the-extra-work-04692 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/More-than-half-the-pharmacists-polled-in-survey-said-they-worked-overtime-during-the-peak-of-COVID-19-yet-62percent-said-they-were-not-paid-for-the-extra-work-04692 Pharmacists struggle to get continuous supply of PPE: A survey conducted by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) has found that a third (34%) of pharmacists working in the UK are finding it difficult to obtain a continuous supply of personal protective equipment (PPE). http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/Pharmacists-struggle-to-get-continuous-supply-of-PPE-reveals-survey-04622 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/blog/article/Pharmacists-struggle-to-get-continuous-supply-of-PPE-reveals-survey-04622 27% of parents are comfortable visiting clinics for vaccinations due to pandemic safety fears: A survey of parents by GlaxoSmithKline has found that although around three-quarters of parents said they were happy for their children to be vaccinated during the COVID-19 pandemic (73%), just over a quarter (27%) feel comfortable going to a clinic or GP surgery where it can be administered -
