“…Some have observed poor agreement between oral fluid tests and self-reported drug use [5,[28][29][30][31], while others reported relatively good validity when examined self-reports against blood, urine, hair or saliva drug tests [32][33][34][35]. Even though we did not have direct validation hypotheses, our results suggest that questionnaires still provided information useful for both research and policy purposes.…”

Identification and Assessment of Drug-User Groups Among Nightlife Attendees: Self-Reports, Breathalyzer-Tests and Oral Fluid Drug Tests

Background and Objectives: Even though nightlife studies with potentially intoxicated participants provide the much needed information on drug use, they face additional methodological challenges. This study aimed to explore the utility of such studies by (i) classifying nightlife attendees based on their self-reported drug use and by (ii) examining whether these classifications were meaningful when assessed against other sources of data, including oral fluid drug tests. Methods: Self-reported questionnaires, oral fluid samples and blood alcohol concentration readings were collected in a sample of 1,085 nightlife patrons recruited outside 12 popular nightclubs in Oslo, Norway, in 2014. Patrons were classified using multiple approaches, including latent class analysis. Group differences were examined by logistic regression models. Results: Participants were classified into 5 mutually exclusive groups: 2 among current non-users (“Never-users”; “Previous users”), 2 among current users (“Multiple drugs”; “Cannabis mainly”) and one “Incomplete information” group. Meaningful differences across these groups were observed. For instance, positive tests for any illicit drug were more common in “Multiple drugs” group than in “Cannabis mainly” (62.7 vs. 29.1%, adjusted OR [aOR] 3.77 [2.42–5.84]) or “Incomplete information” groups (62.7 vs. 34.4%, aOR 2.46 [1.26–4.79]). Despite their self-declared non-use, illicit substances were detected in oral fluids of “Never-users” (13.1%; 95% CI 9.9–17.2) and “Previous users” (7.9%; 95% CI 5.1–12.1). Conclusions: Despite some discrepancies between self-reports and biological tests, self-reports proved both suitable and useful in identification of substantively different drug-user typologies, potentially informing targeted policy responses. Still, methodological challenges associated with onsite studies of illicit drug use should be further explored.

“…Reliability was also supported in the current study: 1) acceptable levels of agreement for self-reported current/recent MA use and urinalysis (88% in the first interview); and 2) differences < .08 in measures of association between MA use in the past year as recalled from two perspectives (from proximal recall in the year preceding the initial interview and distal recall for the same year recalled from the second interview) with the potential predictors for the current study. Self-reports of substance use have also been found to be acceptably reliable in other studies (Brigham et al, 2008; Denis et al, 2012; Fals-Stewart et al, 2000). …”

Introduction This paper describes methamphetamine (MA) use patterns, specifically duration of continuing abstinence (“time to relapse”) for periods averaging 5 years post-discharge from treatment for MA use, and the relationship with selected user and treatment characteristics. Methods A sample of 350 treatment admissions from a large county substance use disorder (SUD) treatment system was randomly selected (within gender, race/ethnicity, treatment modality strata). Retrospective self-report data are from natural history interviews (NHI) conducted approximately 3 years after treatment and a follow-up 2-3 years later. Relapse is defined as any use of MA with time as the number of months of continuous MA abstinence after treatment discharge until relapse. This outcome was constructed from a monthly MA use timeline using NHI data. A Cox model was used to examine time to relapse and predictors. Results Sixty-one percent of the sample relapsed to MA use within 1 year after treatment discharge and 25% during years 2-5. Significant protective factors predicting longer time to relapse included having experienced serious MA-related psychiatric/behavioral problems (hazard ratio [HR]=0.75, p=0.027), longer duration of the index treatment episode (HR=0.93, p=0.001), and participating in self-help or other treatment during the post-treatment abstinence period(HR=0.29, p<0.001); risk factors for shorter time to relapse included having a parent with alcohol and/or drug use problems (HR =1.35, p=0.020) and involvement in MA sales (HR=1.48, p=0.002). Conclusions Results contribute a long-term perspective on patterns of MA use following treatment and support a need for early post-treatment and long-term continuing care and relapse- prevention services.

“…However, there are findings supporting the validity of self-reported substance misuse (Freedberg & Johnston, 1980;Maisto et al 1982;Polich, 1982;Verinis, 1983;Denis et al 2012).…”
