项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The explicit purpose of this research is to contribute to our knowledge and understanding of methamphetamine markets in terms of their organization and operation. The specific aim is to study market dynamics. In support of NIDA's mission to bring "the power of science to bear on drug abuse and addiction," the longer term aim is to improve our ability to study the impact of methamphetamine markets on public health and safety in surrounding communities. The aims of this research will be accomplished through a three-stage process culminating in a comprehensive process study of methamphetamine markets in nine different cities or counties in the United States. Borrowing from recent developments in the study of comprehensive community initiatives, the process study will use a theory of change approach to study local retail markets from the perspectives of local stakeholders including dealers and users (e.g., arrestees, treatment clients), community organizers and providers, local narcotics police, and local public health officials. The initial stage will involve a screening assessment of approximately 18,000 respondents representing U.S. cities and counties to obtain basic information about methamphetamine market activity and participation in local areas. For reasons described in the proposal, these respondents will be narcotics police identified and contacted through local police chiefs. From this screening, 75 cities or counties will be selected for the second stage, which will involve semi-structured telephone interviews with narcotics police identified in the first stage as having the greatest knowledge and ability to understand, appreciate, and access their local methamphetamine markets. They will be asked more detailed questions about local methamphetamine markets, and through an innovative grid approach to locate the markets in precise geographic spots. From analysis of the data collected in the first two stages, 9 cities or counties will be selected for the process study. The goal is to include three cities or counties with established markets, three with emerging markets, and three with new markets. In addition, sites will be selected to represent variability in terms of things like the number and relative stability of local markets. Data will be collected through in depth interviews, focus groups, and systematic observation.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究的明确目的是帮助我们了解和理解甲基苯丙胺市场的组织和运作。具体目标是研究市场动态。为了支持NIDA的使命，使“科学的力量对药物滥用和成瘾产生影响”，长期目标是提高我们研究甲基苯丙胺市场对周围社区公共健康和安全的影响的能力。这项研究的目的将通过一个三阶段的过程来实现，最终将对美国九个不同城市或县的甲基安非他明市场进行全面的过程研究。过程研究将借鉴综合社区倡议研究的最新发展，从当地利益相关者（包括经销商和用户）的角度，采用变革理论方法研究当地零售市场（例如，他们还包括被逮捕者、治疗对象、社区组织者和提供者、当地缉毒警察和当地公共卫生官员。最初阶段将对代表美国城市和县的大约18，000名受访者进行筛选评估，以获得有关甲基苯丙胺市场活动和当地参与的基本信息。由于提案中所述的原因，这些答复者将由缉毒警察确定，并通过当地警察局长与之联系。通过这次筛选，将选择75个城市或县进入第二阶段，其中将包括对第一阶段确定的缉毒警察进行半结构化电话采访，这些缉毒警察在了解、欣赏和进入当地甲基苯丙胺市场方面拥有最丰富的知识和能力。他们将被问到有关当地甲基苯丙胺市场的更详细的问题，并通过一种创新的网格方法在精确的地理位置定位市场。通过对前两个阶段收集的数据进行分析，将选择9个市或县进行过程研究。目标是包括三个拥有成熟市场的城市或县，三个拥有新兴市场的城市或县，三个拥有新市场的城市或县。此外，网站的选择将代表当地市场的数量和相对稳定性等方面的变化。将通过深入访谈、焦点小组和系统观察收集数据。
