Résumé :
This paper considers two different ways in which web surveys might be used to provide insights concerning those people who purchase drugs on cryptomarkets. First, data from the second wave of the European Web Survey on Drugs (EWSD) are analysed with a view to identifying differences between respondents who buy drugs on cryptomarkets and those who acquire drugs from other sources (e.g. from a dealer or through sharing with friends). Second, the sampling of web survey respondents on the darknet is discussed based on a sampling strategy tested in Austria, highlighting the challenges and opportunities involved in undertaking survey recruitment on the darknet. This pilot project was undertaken through placing an identical German-language version of the EWSD questionnaire on a darknet webpage and promoting the survey through various darknet forums and marketplaces. The aims of this paper are twofold. On one hand, it seeks to examine whether the EWSD is able to gather information on the characteristics of people who predominantly buy drugs through cryptomarkets, and, on the other hand, to show how this group of people might be reached to improve their representation in future web surveys for drug data collection.
