It is assumed that the COVID-19 pandemic and societal responses during quarantine days and curfews have a significant impact on substance use and addictive behaviors. To investigate and report the current impact of the Covid-19 epidemic in patterns of alcohol and drug use in the meantime, Turkish Green Crescent Society created an online anonymous survey. The survey is available in 6 languages; English, Turkish, Arabic, Russian, French, and Portuguese. We would greatly appreciate it if you could help us with this study. https://www.yesilay.org.tr/en/news/survey-on-substance-use-to-assess-the-impact-of-the-pandemic
