Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area Drug Study (DC*MADS), 1991: Household and Non-Household Populations

The DC Metropolitan Area Drug Study (DC*MADS) was
conducted in 1991, and included special analyses of homeless and
transient populations and of women delivering live births in the DC
hospitals. DC*MADS was undertaken to assess the full extent of the
drug problem in one metropolitan area. The study was comprised of 16
separate studies that focused on different sub-groups, many of which
are typically not included or are under-represented in household
surveys.The DC*MADS: Household and Non-household Populations
examines the prevalence of tobacco, alcohol, and drug use among
members of household and non-household populations aged 12 and older
in the District of Columbia Metropolitan Statistical Area (DC
MSA). The study also examines the characteristics of three
drug-abusing sub-groups: crack-cocaine, heroin, and needle users. The
household sample was drawn from the 1991 National Household Survey on
Drug Abuse (NHSDA). The non-household sample was drawn from the
DC*MADS Institutionalized and Homeless and Transient Population
Studies. Data include demographics, needle use, needle-sharing, and
use of tobacco, alcohol, cocaine, crack, inhalants, marijuana, hallucinogens, heroin, sedatives, stimulants, psychotherapeutics (non-medical use), tranquilizers, and analgesics.

华盛顿都会区药物研究（DC*MADS）于1991年开展，针对无家可归者、流动人群以及华盛顿特区医院的活产产妇开展专项分析。本研究旨在评估某一都会区药物问题的整体严重程度，共包含16项聚焦不同亚群体的独立子研究——这类亚群体通常在家庭抽样调查中被遗漏或代表性不足。
《DC*MADS：家庭与非家庭人口》研究聚焦哥伦比亚特区都会统计区（DC MSA）内12岁及以上家庭与非家庭人口的烟草、酒精及药物使用流行率，同时分析三类药物滥用亚群体的特征：快克可卡因使用者、海洛因使用者及针具使用者。该研究的家庭样本取自1991年全国药物滥用家庭调查（NHSDA），非家庭样本则取自DC*MADS的机构化人口、无家可归者与流动人群研究。
本数据集涵盖人口统计学信息、针具使用与针具共用情况，以及烟草、酒精、可卡因、快克可卡因、吸入剂、大麻、致幻剂、海洛因、镇静剂、兴奋剂、非医疗使用精神治疗药物、安定药及镇痛剂的使用数据。
