This paper evaluates the extent to which arrestees disclosed recent drug use and the variation in disclosure across locations, drugs, and demographic characteristics using. The analysis employs data from 47,724 adult and 4,474 juvenile arrestees interviewed at 37 locations across the United States by the Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) Program in 2000-01. The disclosure rate was highest for marijuana (82 percent), followed by methadone (69 percent), methamphetamine (58 percent), heroin (53 percent), cocaine/crack (48 percent), and PCP (22 percent). Rates varied widely across sites. The marijuana disclosure rate varied from 68 percent in Fort Lauderdale to 93 percent in Spokane. The cocaine/crack disclosure rate varied from 28 percent in Chicago to 70 percent in Kansas City. Covariates of disclosure differed across drugs. The wide variation in nondisclosure rates suggests extreme caution be used when comparing self-report prevalence across drugs, locations, and individual characteristics?certainly at least for arrestees.
