The study presents interesting statistics though it's a bit disturbing to read. I am uncomfortable because I just want this corner of my shrunken world to be off the radar. But that's not the case. We are Dr. Pittman's real life research subjects. Just goes to reiterate that whatever you share online is in the public domain, forever, ready to be used for whatever purposes one wants. With good or ill intent. The accuracy of such research is only as trustworthy to the extent that BB "subjects" and their history with benzos can be tracked. I'm going to assume this is not a slide presentation to be found in BB archives.

From what I could understand this is not information retrieved from the forum but an invitation to participate was published on BB and people volunteered to participate.  See following post http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=74609.0

Glad some research is done in this area that acknowledges our experience.

That's reassuring!
