Drug Abuse And Crime
Drugs and crime - Bulletin Reports - Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring - Brief ArticleArrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) presents ADAM Preliminary 2000 Findings on Drug Use and Drug Markets: Adult Male Arrestees (NCJ 189101). This research report features original data from NIJ's Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) program using a new probability-based sampling method, a poststratification weighting strategy, and a redesigned survey instrument. The redesigned methodology gives researchers and policymakers greater confidence in ADAM data. Information in this NIJ research report was culled from sites in the ADAM network as a result of new questions about heavy alcohol use, mental health and drug treatment, the need for treatment of drug dependency, and characteristics of drug markets. The questions are based on items from other national surveys and allow researchers to "crosswalk" between ADAM and other ongoing, large-scale research studies.
