In 1995,\r\nthe Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and the National\r\nInstitute of Justice (NIJ) collaborated on a project called the\r\nProcurement Study. This study was executed as an addendum to NIJ's\r\nDrug Use Forecasting (DUF) program (DRUG USE FORECASTING IN 24 CITIES\r\nIN THE UNITED STATES, 1987-1997 [ICPSR 9477]) with the goal of\r\nextending previous research in which heroin users were interviewed on\r\nvarious aspects of drug market activity. The present study sought to\r\nexplore additional features of drug market participation and use, both\r\nwithin and across drug types and cities, and included two additional\r\ndrugs -- powder cocaine and crack cocaine. Data were collected from\r\nrecently arrested users of powder cocaine, crack cocaine, and heroin\r\nin six DUF cities (Chicago, New York, Portland, San Diego, San\r\nAntonio, and Washington, DC). Each of the three files in this\r\ncollection, Crack Data (Part 1), Heroin Data (Part 2), and Powder\r\nCocaine Data (Part 3), is comprised of data from a procurement\r\ninterview, urine test variables, and a DUF interview. During the\r\nprocurement interview, information was collected on purchase and use\r\npatterns for specific drugs. Variables from the procurement interview\r\ninclude the respondent's method of using the drug, the term used to\r\nrefer to the drug, whether the respondent bought the drug in the\r\nneighborhood, the number of different dealers the respondent bought\r\nthe drug from, how the respondent made the connection with the dealer\r\n(i.e., street, house, phone, beeper, business/store, or friends),\r\ntheir main drug source, whether the respondent went to someone else if\r\nthe source was not available, how the respondent coped with not being\r\nable to find drugs to buy, whether the respondent got the drug for\r\nfree, the means by which the respondent obtained money, the quantity\r\nand packaging of the drug, and the number of minutes spent searching\r\nfor, traveling to, and waiting for their last purchase. Urine tests\r\nscreened for the presence of ten drugs, including marijuana, opiates,\r\ncocaine, PCP, methadone, benzodiazepines (Valium), methaqualone,\r\npropoxyphene (Darvon), barbiturates, and amphetamines (positive test\r\nresults for amphetamines were confirmed by gas chromatography). Data\r\nfrom the DUF interview provide detailed information about each\r\narrestee's self-reported use of 15 drugs. For each drug type,\r\narrestees were asked whether they had ever used the drug, the age at\r\nwhich they first used the drug, whether they had used the drug within\r\nthe past three days, how many days they had used the drug within the\r\npast month, whether they had ever needed or felt dependent on the\r\ndrug, and whether they were dependent on the drug at the time of the\r\ninterview. Data from the DUF interview instrument also included\r\nalcohol/drug treatment history, information about whether arrestees\r\nhad ever injected drugs, and whether they were influenced by drugs\r\nwhen the crime that they were charged with was committed. The data\r\nalso include information about whether the arrestee had been to an\r\nemergency room for drug-related incidents and whether he or she had\r\nhad prior arrests in the past 12 months. Demographic data include the\r\nage, race, sex, educational attainment, marital status, employment\r\nstatus, and living circumstances of each respondent.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02564.v1", "title": "Crack, Powder Cocaine, and Heroin:  Drug Purchase and Use Patterns in Six Cities in the United States, 1995-1996"}], "identifier": "3131", "isPartOf": "3023", "issued": "2000-12-04T00:00:00", "keyword": ["ADAM/DUF Program", "arrests", "cocaine", "crack cocaine", "crime patterns", "demographic characteristics", "drug abuse", "drug dependence", "drug offenders", "drug related crimes", "drug testing", "drug traffic", "drug treatment", "drug use", "drugs", "heroin", "substance abuse", "trends"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2012-08-22T00:00:00", "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": "Crack, Powder Cocaine, and Heroin:  Drug Purchase and Use Patterns in Six Cities in the United States, 1995-1996"}
