Researchers at the University of Sydney have launched The QUality of life Evaluation STudy (The QUEST Initiative), a wide-ranging, longitudinal study for medicinal cannabis patients.
The QUEST Initiative aims to be one of the world’s largest studies examining quality of life outcomes in patients prescribed medicinal cannabis. The study aims to recruit at least 2,100 patients – the minimum sample size (number of recruited patients) calculated to achieve statistical relevance – by June 2021 with potential to extend this study internationally.
