    In this study substance use personality traits and psychiatric symptoms of individuals using cannabis and synthetic cannabinoid were examined and compared with healthy controls. A total of 52 participants who applied to Ege University Faculty of Medicine Department of Mental Health and Diseases Substance Addiction Treatment Center between March 2015 and June 2017 who used cannabis for at least 1 year in the past and 51 participants who used synthetic cannabinoids for at least 1 year in the past constituted the participant group with a history of substance use and 57 Ege University employees/students without any substance use history constituted the control group participants. The age range was determined as 18-54. Hacettepe Personality Inventory was used to evaluate the personality traits of the participants and the Symptom Screening Test-90 was used to examine the psychopathological symptom levels. Participants with a history of synthetic cannabinoid use evaluated by Hacettepe Personality Inventory had a significantly lower score on general adjustment personal adjustment social adjustment self-actualization emotional stability neurotic tendencies psychotic symptoms family relations social relations social norms antisocial tendencies sub-dimensions and they scored significantly higher in all Symptom Screening Test 90 sub-dimensions.

    Based on data from mixed designed research the purpose of this study was to develop design elements of a public communication campaign on the fight against substance addiction. A focus group was conducted with mothers from the city of izmir Turkey. Based on the focus group findings a survey was conducted by distributing a questionnaire to 403 mothers in Izmir. Focus group qualitative data revealed that mothers were generally aware of the risks regarding substance addiction, however they do not relate the issue to their own children. Further mothers were shown to be the people closest the children in their families. Survey results revealed that mothers from higher socioeconomic backgrounds were more knowledgeable regarding substance addiction. A cluster analysis showed that mothers with less education and lower income levels had lower perceptions about substance addiction risk for school environments neighborhoods and the city while mothers with more education and higher income levels had higher levels of such perceptions. Considering the results of our study mothers were chosen as the main target for the public communication campaign.
