Abstract

This abstract provides an overview of a study comparing expressed drug use, as self-reported by individuals, with actual test results. The research aims to investigate the accuracy and reliability of self-reported drug use compared to objective testing methods, such as urinalysis or blood tests. The study incorporates diverse populations, spanning different demographics and drug use histories, to ensure a comprehensive analysis of the correlation between selfdisclosed drug use and laboratory results. The research methodology involves collecting self-reported data through surveys or interviews, where participants provide information about their drug use patterns, frequency, and types of substances used. Concurrently, objective drug testing measures are administered to obtain accurate and verifiable results. The study carefully examines the discrepancies, if any, between self-reported drugs use and the actual test outcomes. Furthermore, the abstract explores potential factors influencing the accuracy of self-reported drug use, including social desirability bias, memory recall, and the reluctance to disclose sensitive information. By identifying these factors, the study aims to enhance the understanding of the limitations associated with self-reported drug use data. The implications of the research extend to various fields, including clinical settings, substance abuse treatment programs, and public health initiatives. Accurate information about drug use is essential for designing effective interventions, developing targeted prevention strategies, and evaluating the success of treatment programs. The findings of this study contribute valuable insights into the reliability of self-reported drug use data, informing best practices for obtaining accurate information and improving the overall validity of substance use research.
