Recently, the Research Triangle Institute completed a five-year
study sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse called The
Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Area Drug Study (DC*MADS). The study
attempted to look at the nature and extent of drug abuse among
diverse populations living in a single metropolitan area, focusing
particularly on underrepresented populations such as the homeless,
the institutionalized, and juvenile offenders along with
populations that have been studied in more depth, such as persons
living in households. The goal was to not only establish
prevalence, correlates, and consequences of drug abuse, but to
establish a research model for conducting other such studies. Drug
Use in Metropolitan America describes, relates, and integrates
findings from the DC*MADS study. More than that, though, this book
places the findings in the larger context of our national drug
abuse problem. Therefore, while there is some reporting of
findings, there is more emphasis on examining the policy, research,
and program implications that flow from the studies. This book will
be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in
a number of areas, as well as to academics in Sociology courses
dealing with drugs, deviance, social problems, and research
methodology. It should also appeal to those concerned with
Psychology and Medicine/Allied Health.
