AB The validity of drug and sexual behavior data collected by drug user
treatment staff using a short clinical risk assessment among 387
injection drug users is evaluated using in-depth, confidential interview
process. Moderate to high agreement levels were found for most, but not
all, variables. Participants consistently reported less risky behaviors
on the clinical risk assessment than on the in-depth interview. More
easily recalled information can be accurately gathered through a short
clinical risk assessment. However, in-depth, confidential interviewing
is important when gathering self-reports of the frequency of drug and
sexual behaviors.
