Abstract

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) established the Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) Program—formerly the Drug Use Forecasting (DUF) Program—in 1987. Within the past two years the ADAM Program has changed considerably, and as a result its potential contributions to drug research have increased. Despite this progress, however, a number of methodological issues may limit the scope of the ADAM domain. This essay examines the six program goals to identify the most appropriate uses of the ADAM reporting system. The findings are then discussed in light of ADAM's potential contributions to future drug scholarship.
