Abstract

This article describes the activities of the Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (DUMA) program, which is managed by the Australian Institute of Criminology. Monitored on a quarterly basis, the program collects both questionnaire data and urine samples from police detainees. The samples are analysed for a range of drugs, while the questionnaire explores both use of and dependency on illicit drugs. Trends from the 2006 DUMA annual report are also discussed.
