Measuring various drug use dimensions with a calendar method

L D Adams, J R Henley

    The International Journal of the Addictions
    |April 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study introduces the calendar technique for tracking time-specific drug use patterns and changes, including cessation. This self-reported method offers advantages over other approaches for detailed drug use measurement.

    Area of Science:

    • Addiction research
    • Behavioral science
    • Public health

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of drug use patterns is crucial for understanding addiction.
    • Existing methods may not capture temporal variations in substance consumption effectively.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel technique for acquiring time-specific drug use data.
    • To highlight the utility of the calendar method in capturing consumption patterns and cessation.

    Main Methods:

    • The study details the calendar technique, a self-report method.
    • Participants document patterns of consumption and changes over time.

    Main Results:

    • The calendar technique allows for the collection of detailed, time-specific drug use data.
    • It effectively captures variations in consumption, including initiation and cessation.

    Conclusions:

    • The calendar technique is a valuable tool for researchers studying drug use.
    • It provides a flexible and informative approach to measuring substance consumption patterns and changes over time.
