As part of the nationwide ADAM program, the Justice Center collects data on the prevalence and types of drug use among booked arrestees in Anchorage during four two-week periods each year, once per quarter. Data is collected by Justice Center interviewers at Cook Inlet Pretrial and Anchorage Jail.
ADAM is a multi-site data collection network and data processing and dissemination program. ADAM sites collect data under a centralized system that includes rigorously standardized procedures, minimum requirements for interviewers, and on-going accountability at all data collection sites. At each ADAM site, trained interviewers collect voluntary and anonymous interviews and urine specimens from adult male and female booked arrestees. (In some sites, juvenile male and female booked arrestees are also interviewed. Anchorage is not one of these sites.)
The National Opinion Research Center (NORC) managed the ADAM program operations under contract to the National Institute of Justice after the fourth quarter of 2001. Prior to that, program operations were managed by Abt Associates.
