2000 Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring: Annual Report
April 2003This NIJ report presents data on drug use among arrestees in Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) program sites across the United States and explores variations by site and region. It focuses on five drugs: cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, opiates, and PCP. Summary tables are included for each site, as are tables that show risk for drug and alcohol dependence, admissions to treatment, and drug market participation. The report also explains how data were obtained as a result of the redesigned ADAM program. ADAM was changed to become more scientifically rigorous (e.g., probability-based sampling, enhanced questionnaire, and standardized data collection procedures) and to generate more information.
