Article Synopsis
- - Illicit drug use is prevalent at music festivals, prompting research into whether attendees intentionally plan to use drugs or if they're influenced by their environment, like peer presence or the perception that everyone is using drugs.
- - The study utilized the prototype willingness model to evaluate if drug use decisions at festivals are made logically or impulsively, surveying attendees before, during, and after the event.
- - Results showed that positive attitudes towards drug use and a self-identity aligned with drug-using attendees significantly influenced intentions to use drugs, indicating that both rational and spontaneous decisions contribute to substance use at festivals.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the rate of product innovation among persons with disabilities, how they are diffused and the general value of these developed solutions for persons without disabilities.
Materials And Methods: A sample of participants (n = 178) completed a self-administered questionnaire, which included information about their disability, disability burden, general unmet product needs, the impact of the developed solution on their quality of life and how solutions were diffused. We analyzed solutions both for their novelty and for their general value.
