Complete the Health Survey!



Please complete our survey for a chance to win a Nintendo Wii, iPod Nanos, high street gift vouchers, and tickets for the Union's club nights!
The Leeds Student Health Survey is being undertaken to learn about students' perception, knowledge and understanding of drugs and alcohol and their impact on health. Once completed, your survey responses will be used to inform and formulate a brand new awareness campaign. This work is being led and developed by the Leeds Substance Misuse and Mental Health Working group, part of Leeds NHS. It is running across the University of Leeds, Leeds Metropolitan and Leeds Trinity and All Saints.



To complete the survey, go to www.leeds-student-health-survey.co.uk.
