Drug literacy (knowledge) A drug literacy knowledge score was measured through summing responses from a 20-item true or false knowledge scale measuring knowledge of how different substances affect the body, adapted from the School Health and Alcohol Harm Reduction Project [43]. Participants responded to items such as ‘you can do things like take a shower or eat food to sober up more quickly’. The scale demonstrates acceptable internal consistency (knowledge scale α = 0.73).
