Title: QUICK RESPONSE SURVEY, DRUG PROCUREMENT PRACTICES OF THE CHRONIC DRUG ABUSER
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 10/08/1992
	Date Received in OIRA: 09/17/1992
Terms of Clearance: This survey effort is approved for use through 4/93 with the following caveats and conditions: OMB believes this effort is exploratory and experimental. Its primary contribution will be an improved understanding of the feasibility of reliance on AIDS and drug treatment outreach groups to collect sensitive data on drug abuse patterns and related business practices. This data will be exceptionally useful in providing a bas for further demographic research pertaining to "difficult to reach" and "hard core" substance abusers. OMB reiterates, however, that this collection effort at best may provide descriptive case studies of specific drug abusers, and will not provide data that can be used to project trends to a well defined, demographic population on a nation o city-wide level. Because this sample is not random and probability- based and field recruitment techniques will vary by circumstance, significant bias will be introduced by those respondents who are located, volunteered to participate, and who are physically and mental capable of completing the effort. Understanding the characteristics o response and non response will be crucial to evaluating response validity, whether respondents reflect "hard core" drug abusers, and th appropriate intervention policies, i.e. drug prevention, treatment, or law enforcement.
