Component IV involves a total of nine focus group discussions, each composed of 6-8 study subjects. Conducted by specifically trained discussion leaders, the focus groups are intended to elicit thoughts about drug use in general and GHB in particular. Participants may be of either sex and of any ethnicity, but must be between the ages of 18 to 30, and live within 60 miles of San Francisco. We are seeking people who have used GHB in the past as well as those who have never used GHB themselves. Participants who cannot speak English will be excluded. Those completing the focus groups will be paid $150.
Written consent for IV will be obtained prior to the focus group interviews. If you do participate, your name and other identifying information will be kept strictly confidential. If your are between the ages of 18 and 30 and are interested in participating contact study investigators at UCSF at (415) 502-6041
