Cannabis study
THE University of Huelva is searching for young people between the ages of 18 and 25 who have used cannabis in the last year, according to a news source Saturday, July 1.
The university’s Department of Clinical and Experimental Psychology has launched the ‘Psicocann’ project which aims ‘to analyse what people who consume do to minimise the damage’.
The campaign has seen posters displayed both in Huelva and in Sevilla which advertise how to participate in a questionnaire. It comes with a prize: an Amazon voucher worth €15.
When asked about the monetary prize, researcher Fermín Fernández Calderón, said that without an incentive it’s very difficult to get enough people to participate.
He added “But it’s very common for us to compensate participants for spend ing their time with us.”
Willing volunteers could receive €35 in total, ‘€15 for each facetoface meeting, of which there are two. And later, another €5 after a last online participation.’
The ‘Psicocann’ project is financed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and the team that is working on it published a preliminary report in May of this year. So far, a total of 466 people have already taken part in the first questionnaire.
