Footnotes

1. DEPCAT is an index of deprivation disaggregated by areas in Scotland. See Appendix 1 for a list of postcodes included in each research locality and associated Deprivation Category scores.
2. Framework Analysis (Ritchie and Spencer 1994) is a qualitative thematic indexing and charting system. This method involves creating an index or code frame of substantive themes and charting key findings within each theme, systematically coding transcripts for key points and illustrative verbatim comments. Findings on the key themes are then summarised on a chart incorporating the key quotes. The charting method ensures analysis of the data is rigorous, balanced and accurate, allowing the themes and hypotheses developed initially to be refined following review of the evidence.
3. Sulpiride is an antipsychotic medication used for the treatment of schizophrenia.
4. NTORS is the National Treatment Outcome Research Study, established to gather information in this country about the treatment outcomes of a large sample of drug misusers who had been treated within the existing national system of treatment services.
