My Understanding of Substance Experiences (MyUSE)

What is MyUSE and How Does it Work?
This short video introduces MyUSE, offering a quick overview of how the app supports students to reflect on their substance use experiences
For All Higher Education Students
MyUSE is a clinical algorithm that adapts to each student’s individual experience, whether they use drugs currently, have used drugs in the past, or have never done so. The app responds dynamically to students’ answers, offering tailored support, information, and guidance based on their needs – without stigma or assumptions.
It’s designed to be relevant, accessible, and helpful to all students, wherever they are in relation to substance use.
What Students See in MyUSE
Grounded in behavioural science, MyUSE is designed to support mindful decision-making, self-awareness, and wellbeing for students.
A student’s journey in MyUSE begins with a short set of questions, after which the app guides them through content tailored to their needs. Based on their responses, they’re offered relevant harm reduction information, skill-building activities, and practical strategies, which is all aligned with their individual context.
