ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Without the support and co-operation of Drugs Action in Aberdeen and The Harm Reduction Centre in Dundee this study would not have been possible. Sincere gratitude is expressed to both staff teams and managers who supported this work, sometimes through difficult times. The support of Dundee Drug and AIDS Project is also very much valued. The participation of the service users was of course essential and is very much valued.
Sincere thanks go to the researchers who were employed on stage two of this study. Phillipa Blake (Jan 2006 to October 2006) and Denise Thompson (Jan 2005 to November 2005) worked in Aberdeen. Erja Aalto (November 2005 to October 2006) and Sheila Paterson (March 2006 to October 2006) were based in Dundee. Their enthusiasm and ability to drive the study forward when based remotely from Bath are much appreciated.
Statistical analysis for stage two was performed by Dr G Taylor, Medical Statistician, Bath Research & Development Support Unit. Assistance with quantitative data entry and cross checking was given by Ms Kath Hood and Mr Chris Carey, University of Bath. Some transcribing assistance was obtained from Ms Laura Hiscox and Mrs Amanda Lester, University of Bath. Sincere thanks to them all.
Thanks are also expressed to those who assisted with stage one: Dr Rhys Ponton, formerly University of Bath, Mrs Jo Carter and Dr Ursula Potter, University of Bath, Avon & Somerset Constabulary Forensic Science Dept, Prof Avril Taylor, Jeanne Rutherford and Alex Fleming from University of Paisley, Mr R Reid, The Robert Gordon University and Mr R Headford, Royal United Hospital.
