--{{expand title="Study: Factors Associated with Completion of a Drug Treatment Court Diversion Program" expanded="false"}}
--**Source:** *Substance Use & Misuse*
--**Date of Publication:** *2002*
--**Author(s):** *Clifford A. Butzin, Christine A. Saum, Frank R. Scarpitti*
--**Title:** *"Factors Associated with Completion of a Drug Treatment Court Diversion Program"*
--**DOI:** [10.1081/JA-120014424](https://doi.org/10.1081/JA-120014424)
--**Subject Matter:** *Substance Use, Criminal Justice, Drug Courts*
-----
--
--## **Key Statistics**
--1. **General Observations:**
--   - Study examined **drug treatment court success rates** among first-time offenders.
--   - Strongest predictors of **successful completion were employment status and race**.
--
--2. **Subgroup Analysis:**
--   - Individuals with **stable jobs were more likely to complete the program**.
--   - **Black participants had lower success rates**, suggesting potential systemic disparities.
--
--3. **Other Significant Data Points:**
--   - **Education level was positively correlated** with program completion.
--   - Frequency of **drug use before enrollment affected treatment outcomes**.
--
-----
--
--## **Findings**
--1. **Primary Observations:**
--   - **Social stability factors** (employment, education) were key to treatment success.
--   - **Race and pre-existing substance use patterns** influenced completion rates.
--
--2. **Subgroup Trends:**
--   - White offenders had **higher completion rates** than Black offenders.
--   - Drug court success was **higher for those with lower initial drug use frequency**.
--
--3. **Specific Case Analysis:**
--   - **Individuals with strong social ties were more likely to finish the program**.
--   - Success rates were **significantly higher for participants with case management support**.
--
-----
--
--## **Critique and Observations**
--1. **Strengths of the Study:**
--   - **First empirical study on drug court program success factors**.
--   - Uses **longitudinal data** for post-treatment analysis.
--
--2. **Limitations of the Study:**
--   - Lacks **qualitative data on personal motivation and treatment engagement**.
--   - Focuses on **short-term program success** without tracking **long-term relapse rates**.
--
--3. **Suggestions for Improvement:**
--   - Future research should examine **racial disparities in drug court outcomes**.
--   - Study **how community resources impact long-term recovery**.
--
-----
--
--## **Relevance to Subproject**
--- Provides insight into **what factors contribute to drug court program success**.
--- Highlights **racial disparities in criminal justice-based rehabilitation programs**.
--- Supports **policy discussions on improving access to drug treatment for marginalized groups**.
--
-----
--
--## **Suggestions for Further Exploration**
--1. Investigate **the role of mental health in drug court success rates**.
--2. Assess **long-term relapse prevention strategies post-treatment**.
--3. Explore **alternative diversion programs beyond traditional drug courts**.
--
-----
--
--## **Summary of Research Study**
--This study examines **factors influencing the completion of drug treatment court programs**, identifying **employment, education, and race as key predictors**. The research underscores **systemic disparities in drug court outcomes**, emphasizing the need for **improved support systems for at-risk populations**.
--
--This summary provides an accessible, at-a-glance overview of the study’s contributions. Please refer to the full paper for in-depth analysis.

--{{expand title="Study: Cross-Cultural Sources of Measurement Error in Substance Use Surveys" expanded="false"}}
--**Source:** *Substance Use & Misuse*
--**Date of Publication:** *2003*
--**Author(s):** *Timothy P. Johnson, Phillip J. Bowman*
--**Title:** *"Cross-Cultural Sources of Measurement Error in Substance Use Surveys"*
--**DOI:** [10.1081/JA-120023394](https://doi.org/10.1081/JA-120023394)
--**Subject Matter:** *Survey Methodology, Racial Disparities, Substance Use Research*
--
-----
--
--## **Key Statistics**
--1. **General Observations:**
--   - Study examined **how racial and cultural factors influence self-reported substance use data**.
--   - Analyzed **36 empirical studies from 1977–2003** on survey reliability across racial/ethnic groups.
--
--2. **Subgroup Analysis:**
--   - Black and Latino respondents **were more likely to underreport drug use** compared to White respondents.
--   - **Cultural stigma and distrust in research institutions** affected self-report accuracy.
--
--3. **Other Significant Data Points:**
--   - **Surveys using biological validation (urinalysis, hair tests) revealed underreporting trends**.
--   - **Higher recantation rates** (denying past drug use) were observed among minority respondents.
--
-----
--
--## **Findings**
--1. **Primary Observations:**
--   - Racial/ethnic disparities in **substance use reporting bias survey-based research**.
--   - **Social desirability and cultural norms impact data reliability**.
--
--2. **Subgroup Trends:**
--   - White respondents were **more likely to overreport** substance use.
--   - Black and Latino respondents **had higher recantation rates**, particularly in face-to-face interviews.
--
--3. **Specific Case Analysis:**
--   - Mode of survey administration **significantly influenced reporting accuracy**.
--   - **Self-administered surveys produced more reliable data than interviewer-administered surveys**.
--
-----
--
--## **Critique and Observations**
--1. **Strengths of the Study:**
--   - **Comprehensive review of 36 studies** on measurement error in substance use reporting.
--   - Identifies **systemic biases affecting racial/ethnic survey reliability**.
--
--2. **Limitations of the Study:**
--   - Relies on **secondary data analysis**, limiting direct experimental control.
--   - Does not explore **how measurement error impacts policy decisions**.
--
--3. **Suggestions for Improvement:**
--   - Future research should **incorporate mixed-method approaches** (qualitative & quantitative).
--   - Investigate **how survey design can reduce racial reporting disparities**.
--
-----
--
--## **Relevance to Subproject**
--- Supports research on **racial disparities in self-reported health behaviors**.
--- Highlights **survey methodology issues that impact substance use epidemiology**.
--- Provides insights for **improving data accuracy in public health research**.
--
-----
--
--## **Suggestions for Further Exploration**
--1. Investigate **how survey design impacts racial disparities in self-reported health data**.
--2. Study **alternative data collection methods (biometric validation, passive data tracking)**.
--3. Explore **the role of social stigma in self-reported health behaviors**.
--
-----
--
--## **Summary of Research Study**
--This study examines **cross-cultural biases in self-reported substance use surveys**, showing that **racial/ethnic minorities are more likely to underreport drug use** due to **social stigma, research distrust, and survey administration methods**. The findings highlight **critical issues in public health data collection and the need for improved survey design**.
