Help us understand your views on using cannabidiol to treat mental ill-health.

About the survey

The use of cannabis and cannabis-based medicines to treat a range of health conditions is rapidly increasing. Little is known about public perceptions of cannabis-based medicines in Australia. This research aims to improve our understanding of people’s views on the use of cannabidiol (CBD), a component of the cannabis plant, as a medicine. In this survey, we investigate people’s thoughts, feelings and attitudes towards their personal use, or supporting others use, of CBD to treat symptoms of mental ill-health. The information gathered from this survey will inform the ongoing mental health needs of individuals and communities in Australia, with practical implications to address barriers and access to cannabis-based medicines. The ethical aspects of this research have been approved by the UOW Human Research Ethics Committee (Protocol 2022/215).

Who can participate?

We encourage all persons, whether or not you have knowledge of cannabis medicines, to participate in this research. The survey is open to all persons who: a) are aged 18 years or older; b) have lived in Australia since July 2018; and c) can read and write English well enough to complete the survey.
