DC</em>MADS was undertaken to assess the full extent of the<br />\ndrug problem in one metropolitan area. The study was comprised of 16<br />\nseparate studies that focused on different sub-groups, many of which<br />\nare typically not included or are underrepresented in household<br />\nsurveys. The Homeless and Transient Population<br />\nstudy examines the prevalence of illicit drug, alcohol, and tobacco<br />\nuse among members of the homeless and transient population aged 12 and<br />\nolder in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Statistical Area (DC<br />\nMSA). The sample frame included respondents from shelters, soup<br />\nkitchens and food banks, major cluster encampments, and literally<br />\nhomeless people. Data from the questionnaires include history of<br />\nhomelessness, living arrangements and population movement, tobacco,<br />\ndrug, and alcohol use, consequences of use, treatment history, illegal<br />\nbehavior and arrest, emergency room treatment and hospital stays,<br />\nphysical and mental health, pregnancy, insurance, employment and<br />\nfinances, and demographics. Drug specific data include age at first<br />\nuse, route of administration, needle use, withdrawal symptoms,<br />\npolysubstance use, and perceived risk.This study has 1 Data Set.</p>", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Washington  DC  Metropolitan Area Drug Study Homeless and Transient Population (DC-MADST-1991) \n", "downloadURL": "https://datafiles.samhsa.gov/study/washington-dc-metropolitan-area-drug-study-homeless-and-transient-population-dc-madst-1991", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "https://datafiles.samhsa.gov/study/washington-dc-metropolitan-area-drug-study-homeless-and-transient-population-dc-madst-1991"}], "identifier": "https://datafiles.samhsa.gov/study/washington-dc-metropolitan-area-drug-study-homeless-and-transient-population-dc-madst-1991", "issued": "2016-05-23", "keyword": ["arrests", "cocaine", "crack cocaine", "demographic characteristics", "drug abuse", "drug related crimes", "drug use", "drugs", "employment", "hallucinogens", "health insurance", "heroin", "homeless persons", "inhalants", "living arrangements", "marijuana", "mental health", "mental health treatment", "methamphetamines", "physical health", "population characteristics", "pregnancy", "prescription drugs", "sedatives", "smoking", "stimulants", "substance abuse treatment", "urban population"], "landingPage": "https://healthdata.gov/dataset/washington-dc-metropolitan-area-drug-study-homeless-and-transient-population-dc-madst-1991", "modified": "2023-07-25", "programCode": ["009:030"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration"}, "title": "Washington  DC  Metropolitan Area Drug Study Homeless and Transient Population (DC-MADST-1991)"}
