有关吸毒流行率的大部分信息来自自我报告调查。这些信息的敏感性令人担心自我报告措施的准确性。在这项研究中，将过去48小时内自我报告的吸毒情况与371名进入俱乐部的年轻人的唾液样本生物检测结果进行了比较。对三种物质：可卡因、大麻和苯丙胺，确定了自我报告和口服液中药物存在之间的关系。在口腔液体中检测到药物的参与者中，有41%的人报告在过去48小时内没有使用过药物。讨论了这些结果的意义。
Most information on the prevalence of drug use comes from self-report surveys. The sensitivity of such information is cause for concern about the accuracy of self-report measures. In this study, self-reported drug use in the last 48 hr is compared to results from biological assays of saliva samples from 371 young adults entering clubs. The relationship between self-reports and drug presence in oral fluid was determined for three substances as follows: cocaine, marijuana, and amphetamine. Forty-one percent of the participants with drugs detected in their oral fluids reported no use in the last 48 hr. The significance of these results is discussed.
