Abstract
The Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (DUMA) project collects both self report data on drug use and criminal activity, as well as a urine specimen from people who have recently been arrested and brought to a local police station for charging. It aims to: provide reliable drug prevalence data on arrestees; provide aggregated data to local and national law enforcement and treatment agencies for monitoring, evaluation and assessment procedures; and provide timely and high quality data to inform the policy process.
