Résumé :
This chapter explores two methods of bringing together the complementary strengths of general population surveys (GPS) and web surveys to develop improved estimates of overall quantities of drugs consumed — namely, raking and regression. Raking re-weights responses to a web survey in an attempt to make the weighted averages or totals match those of the general population. Regression is used to impute values for what GPS respondents might have said if they had been asked about the frequency of their drug use and the quantities consumed. This chapter applies these two methods to data captured by the EWSD and the countries’ respective GPS to measure total cannabis consumption in the general population. This is pertinent to the literature described in the EMCDDA (2012) study on the cannabis market in Europe and by van Laar et al. (2013), among others.
