- Summary:
-
This paper examines the extent to which participants in the Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (DUMA) program under-report their drug use. It finds that, of those detainees whose urine sample tested positive, heroin users were more likely to report their use of that drug than users of cocaine or methamphetamine. Consideration is given to possible errors that may lead to inconsistent results between the urinalysis test and self-reported information, as well as reasons why under-reporting may occur, with a specific focus on sociodemographic factors.
