Medication Matters

Medication Matters is a research project that finished in November 2004. 

It focused on psychotropic medications. 

These are tablets, medicines or injections that are given to help with a person's thoughts, moods or feelings. 

Or sometimes they are given to help people with their behaviour.  

The aim of the project has been to find out:

  • What people understand about the reasons psychotropic medication is prescribed for a person with learning difficulties

  • What people know about the medication and what it does.
