Resource Abstract:
- description: <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>; abstract: <p>The DC Metropolitan Area Drug
