Validity of self-reported drug use in high risk populations: a meta-analytical review.
Stephen Magura,Sung Yeon Kang +1 more
TL;DR: The magnitude of drug use underreporting documented in this review could seriously bias prevalence estimates and treatment outcome studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prescription opioid abuse among enrollees into methadone maintenance treatment.
Andrew Rosenblum,Mark Parrino,Sidney H. Schnoll,Chunki Fong,Carleen Maxwell,Charles M. Cleland,Stephen Magura,J. David Haddox +7 more
TL;DR: A multi-state survey of opioid dependent persons enrolling in 72 methadone maintenance treatment programs was conducted to determine the prevalence of prescription opioid (PO) abuse, factors associated with PO abuse and sources for POs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Validity of Methadone Clients' Self-Reported Drug Use
TL;DR: Drug use self-reports were compared with urinalysis for 248 clients in four methadone treatment programs and some respondents systematically denied disvalued behaviors (i.e., drug use and criminality), leading to a spurious correlation between these behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre- and in-treatment predictors of retention in methadone treatment using survival analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of pre-and in-treatment variables on patient retention in methadone treatment were investigated. But only two of 16 pretreatment variables, compared with five of six during treatment variables, had significant effects on length of stay in a multivariate model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stephen Magura,Joshua D. Lee,Jason Hershberger,Herman Joseph,Lisa A. Marsch,Carol Shropshire,Andrew Rosenblum +6 more
