New Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) questionnaire questions provide more accurate drug expense estimates. Findings reveal significant cost variations based on drug type and usage frequency among arrestees.

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Public Health
  • Drug Policy

Background:

  • Drug expenses offer insights into drug markets, financial burdens, and treatment challenges.
  • Traditional expense estimation relies on holistic self-reporting.
  • The Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) program introduced a detailed questionnaire in 2000 to improve data granularity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a procedure for estimating drug expenses using the new ADAM questionnaire.
  • To present and analyze findings from ADAM-Manhattan respondents (2000-2002).
  • To compare new estimates with data from the previous questionnaire (1998-1999).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a detailed ADAM questionnaire focusing on specific drug purchase amounts.
  • Analyzed data from 2979 arrestees interviewed between 2000-2002 in Manhattan.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Compared findings with 2256 arrestees interviewed using the prior questionnaire (1998-1999).

    • Main Results:

    • Median 30-day drug expenses varied significantly by drug type and frequency of use.
    • Infrequent marijuana users spent ~$5, while daily users spent ~$600.
    • Combined heroin and cocaine users exceeded $1000 in expenses; prior estimates were approximately half as large.

    Conclusions:

    • The enhanced ADAM questionnaire shows potential for significantly improving drug expense estimations.
    • Further research is necessary to validate the accuracy of these new estimation methods.
