Brief description Use of Ecstasy is increasing in both Australia and the United Kingdom, and is related to poorer psychological and mental functioning in the long-term, suggesting Ecstasy use negatively impacts human physiology producing deficits in aspects of mental functioning. This project aims to assess the effect of weekend use and lifetime use of ecstasy upon measures of physiology and psychology. Findings from these studies may contribute to strategies to reduce the harm associated with Ecstasy use.
