Assessing Bias in Community Based Prevalence Estimates: Towards an Unduplicated Count of Problem Drinkers and Drug Users. Weisner, C., Schmidt, L., & Tam, T. Addiction; 1995, 90, 3, Mar, 391 405., 1995. abstract bibtex Potential bias in prevalence estimates of problem drinking \& drug use was examined through analysis of survey data obtained from the Alcohol Research Group's Community Epidemiology Laboratory on 3 samples: (1) 3,069 general population respondents (Rs); (2) 2,861 Rs from alcohol, drug, mental health, jail, \& welfare agencies; \& (3) 477 Rs living in nonconventional housing. The prevalence of problem drinking in Rs living in conventional housing was 11%, \& 48% in the nonconventional household population; prevalence of weekly drug use among these samples was 6% \& 47% respectively, \& prevalence of combined problem drinking \& weekly drug use was 2% \& 27%, respectively. Prevalence estimate bias stemming from exclusion of nonhousehold populations \& use of data from multiple institutions is discussed. 6 Tables, 1 Figure, 61 References.
