The
Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) program collected data about drug using,
drug and alcohol dependency and treatment, and drug market participation among
recently booked arrestees (within 48 hours) in 40 communities around the United
States. The data and research findings that were derived from ADAM, and from
the other research supported by this program, help policymakers and
practitioners make decisions concerning the problems of drugs and crime.

2000 Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring: Annual Report
April 2003, by National Institute of Justice

This NIJ report presents data on drug use among arrestees in ADAM
program sites across the United States and explores variations by site and region.
It focuses on five drugs: cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, opiates, and
PCP. Summary tables are included for each site, as are tables that show
risk for drug and alcohol dependence, admissions to treatment, and drug
market participation. The report also explains how data were obtained as a
result of the redesigned ADAM program. ADAM was changed to become more
scientifically rigorous (e.g., probability-based sampling, enhanced
questionnaire, and standardized data collection procedures) and to generate
more information.

Accessing Archived ADAM/Drug Use Forecasting (DUF) Data Files: 1987-2003
NIJ's Data Resources Program (DRP) was established to ensure the preservation and availability of research data collected through NIJ funded research. Data sets collected through NIJ funded research are archived and made available to others in order to support new research to replicate original findings or test new hypotheses. NIJ's DRP program supports the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD), which houses all data from NIJ-sponsored research, including all archived ADAM and DUF data files (1987 to 2003), together with data dictionaries and study abstracts. The archive is maintained by the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan.
Be advised that ADAM and DUF data files are in the restricted archive at ICPSR. To gain access to the data in this archive, you must be willing to sign an agreement, certifying in writing that: (1) you understand the need to protect the confidentiality of the respondents in the data; and (2) you will use the data for research purposes only. In addition, this form must be accompanied by a written proposal explaining your intended use of the data.
If you are interested in obtaining archived ADAM or DUF data files for analysis, you will need to acquire a copy of ICPSR's Information Transfer Agreement form which can be obtained by calling toll free (800) 999-0960 or (734) 998-9825.
