Abstract

• Memory Work involves the production of specific, detailed memories which are then discussed as a group. The advantages of this method for researching drug experiences are discussed.

• The process is participant-led, as participants write their memories, and take part in the analysis.

• Memories are particularly rich in the detail of embodied, situated experiences.

• The combination of the written memories and participant reflections and sense making in the discussion creates a particularly rich data set.

• Disadvantages include the level of literacy, and commitment to the process, needed by participants.
