L’objectif

Collecting in-person UDS may not always be feasible, contributing to the need to understand factors that influence the validity of self-reported substance use.

Constatations/points à retenir

Findings add to the literature that supports the validity of self-reported cannabis and cocaine use. The greater discrepancies between self-report and UDS test results of opioids and sedatives suggest adjunctive UDS may be required, although a variety of factors other than inaccurate self-report may be associated with this discrepancy.
