Washington DC Metropolitan Area Drug Study Household and Non-Household Populations (DC-MADSH-1991)

<p>The DC Metropolitan Area Drug Study (DC<em>MADS) was<br /> conducted in 1991, and included special analyses of homeless and<br /> transient populations and of women delivering live births in the DC<br /> hospitals. DC</em>MADS was undertaken to assess the full extent of the<br /> drug problem in one metropolitan area. The study was comprised of 16<br /> separate studies that focused on different sub-groups, many of which<br /> are typically not included or are under-represented in household<br /> surveys.The DC<em>MADS: Household and Non-household Populations<br /> examines the prevalence of tobacco, alcohol, and drug use among<br /> members of household and non-household populations aged 12 and older<br /> in the District of Columbia Metropolitan Statistical Area (DC<br /> MSA). The study also examines the characteristics of three<br /> drug-abusing sub-groups: crack-cocaine, heroin, and needle users. The<br /> household sample was drawn from the 1991 National Household Survey on<br /> Drug Abuse (NHSDA). The non-household sample was drawn from the<br /> DC</em>MADS Institutionalized and Homeless and Transient Population<br /> Studies. Data include demographics, needle use, needle-sharing, and<br /> use of tobacco, alcohol, cocaine, crack, inhalants, marijuana, hallucinogens, heroin, sedatives, stimulants, psychotherapeutics (non-medical use), tranquilizers, and analgesics.This study has 1 Data Set.</p>
