Most users of illicit drugs are employed adults, with substance use rates especially high in the construction industry. In an effort to shed light on the nature and extent of drug use among construction industry workers, and to compare drug use assessment methods, substance use among construction workers, 60% of whom were apprentices, across six sites was assessed by questionnaire, urinalysis, and hair analysis. Nearly 17% of the participants reported current drug use, although drug use differed dramatically by site. Drug use rates also differed by respondent characteristics, participation rates, and assessment method. The strengths and weaknesses of each assessment method are discussed, along with the rationale for combining methods.
大多数非法药物使用者是在职成年人，其中建筑行业的药物使用率尤其高。为了深入了解建筑行业工人药物使用的性质和程度，并比较药物使用评估方法，通过问卷调查、尿液分析和毛发分析，对六个工地的建筑工人（其中60%为学徒）的药物使用情况进行了评估。近17%的参与者报告目前正在使用药物，不过不同工地的药物使用情况差异很大。药物使用率也因受访者特征、参与率和评估方法的不同而有所差异。本文讨论了每种评估方法的优缺点，以及综合使用多种方法的理由。
