A product of the International Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring program. This analysis compares the findings from surveys of arrestees detained in 5 locations in England with those from similar surveys conducted in 5 matched locations in the U.S. The report compares several aspects of drug use in the 2 countries: urinalysis results for use of 6 types of drugs; self-reported use of 10 types of drugs; extent to which drugs are injected; extent to which arrestees had received drug treatment; extent to which arrestees wanted to receive drug treatment; drug-using "careers" (age of first drug use); and levels of legal and illegal income.
