Broadly, the research detailed in this report was undertaken in order to provide the first detailed assessment of the possible links between mephedrone use, violence and other harms in South Wales. The research combines data from a survey of 67 users across South Wales with in-depth semi-structured interviews with 12 mephedrone users and 20 ‘expert’ practitioners who work with users in order to further unravel the various impacts of mephedrone and, specifically, its links to violence.
