TCU Drug Screen data were collected on 18,364 Texas\r\nDepartment of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) inmates (15,816 males and 2,548\r\nfemales) who completed the screen between January 1 and April 30,\r\n1999. Of the 18,364 subjects, 13,902 were Institutional Division\r\n(TDCJ-ID) inmates and 4,462 were State Jail Division (TDCJ-SJD)\r\ninmates. The TCU Drug Screen was administered by TDCJ staff almost\r\nexclusively in a small group setting (12-25 inmates per group) as part\r\nof a larger battery of assessments during the intake process at a TDCJ\r\nfacility. The level and intensity of treatment services needed was\r\nthen determined and a referral decision was made. As part of this\r\nstudy, the relationship between TCU Drug Screen information and\r\npost-release reincarceration was examined. Although one original goal\r\nin the study was to assess the comparability, or concurrent validity,\r\nof the TCU Drug Screen with the lengthier, more comprehensive\r\nAddiction Severity Index (ASI), TDCJ changed the administration\r\nprotocol for the ASI so that it was given only to a subsample of 3,245\r\ninmates who failed to disclose drug use problems on the TCU Drug\r\nScreen. The data include inmate responses to all items of the TCU Drug\r\nScreen and the overall drug screen score. There is also demographic\r\ninformation as well as incarceration, release, and reincarceration\r\ndata.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03541.v1", "title": "Assessing the Texas Christian University Drug Screen Instrument with Texas Department of Criminal Justice Inmates, 1999-2000"}], "identifier": "2978", "issued": "2003-06-05T00:00:00", "keyword": ["addiction", "drug abuse", "drug dependence", "drug offenders", "drug treatment", "inmate classification", "inmates", "psychological evaluation", "recidivism", "substance abuse", "testing and measurement", "treatment outcome", "treatment programs"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2003-06-05T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Assessing the Texas Christian University Drug Screen Instrument with Texas Department of Criminal Justice Inmates, 1999-2000"}
