Overview of this information

(1) Type of Information Collection:

Revision of a Currently Approved

Collection.

Title of the Form/Collection: Arrestee

Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM,

formerly Drug Use Forecasting)

Program.

(3) Agency form number, if any, and

the applicable component of the

Department of Justice sponsoring the

collection: No agency from number.

Office Research and Evaluation,

National Institute of Justice, Office of

Justice Programs.

(4) Affected public who will be asked

to respond, as well as a brief abstract:

Misdemeanor and felony arrestees in

city and county jails and detainees in

juvenile detention facilities. The ADAM

program monitors the extent and types

of drug use among arrestees. By the end

of 1998 the program will operate in 35

cities. An additional 15 sites are

proposed for 1999, to bring the total to

50 cities, and 25 additional cities in the

year 2000, to bring the total number of

data collection sites to 75. Data are

collected in each site every three

months from a new sample of arrestees.

Participation is voluntary and

anonymous and data collected includes

a personal interview and urine

specimen.

(5) An estimate of the total number of

respondents and amount of time

estimated for an average respondent to

respond: Following is the maximum

number of responses expected for the

main ADAM questionnaire in Fiscal

Years 1999 and 2000. The estimate here

is revised from the estimate provided in

the previously published 60-day notice

which did not specify the relevant data

collection period. The estimate assumes

that 50 sites are in operation all quarters

of FY 1999 and 75 sites are in operation

all quarters of FY 2000. In FY 1999,

50,000 adult male arrestees, 20,000

adult female arrestees, 20,000 juvenile

male detainees, and 10,000 juvenile

female detainees will be interviewed

(total=100,000 at 30 minutes a

response). In FY 2000, 75,000 adult

male arrestees, 30,000 adult female

arrestees, 30,000 juvenile male

detainees, and 15,000 juvenile female

detainees will be interviewed.

(total=150,000 at 30 minutes a

response). Additionally, ‘‘addendum’’

questionnaires will be administered to

the same respondents at some number

of sites for some number of quarters

over the year. The estimate provided

here is the maximum number of

responses that will be obtained: it is

assumed that all sites will field one

addendum questionnaire in 3 out of the

4 quarters of the year. In FY 1999, the

maximum number of addendum

questionnaires administered across all

respondent types will be 75,000 at 10

minutes per response; and in FY 2000

the maximum number of addendum

questionnaires administered will be

112,500 at 10 minutes a response.

(6) An estimate of the total public

burden (in hours) associated with the

collection: 62,500 hours in FY 1999 and

93,750 hours in FY 2000.

suggestions, or need a copy of the
