 AB    The general public, police, service providers, and users/ex-users were
       asked their views about options for trial design and trial outcomes with
       regard to a proposal for experimental controlled heroin availability.
       There was substantial agreement between the samples on issues concerning
       trial design. In general, the samples from the community, service
       providers and users/ex-users were more likely to report that a trial
       would result in positive outcomes, whereas the police sample was more
       likely to report that a trial would result in negative outcomes. This
       study illustrates the value of systematic consultation of key groups in
       exploring the options for change, raising potential difficulties, and
       highlighting different interests.
