BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Indirect estimation methods are required for estimating the size of populations where only a proportion of individuals are observed directly, such as problem drug users (PDUs). Capture-recapture and multiplier methods are wi[...]

Multiple parameter evidence synthesis - a potential solution for when information on drug use and harm is in conflict [Editorial]

M. HICKMAN ; D. DE ANGELIS ; H. JONES ; R. J. HARRIS ; N. WELTON ; A. E. ADES | 2013
Dans Addiction (Vol.108, n°9, September 2013) Article : Périodique

The quality of the evidence on estimating drug-related harm is not yet as advanced as that for intervention effectiveness. Multiple parameter evidence synthesis offers a potential solution, in which 'all available evidence' is combined into a si[...]

Problem drug use prevalence estimation revisited: heterogeneity in capture-recapture and the role of external evidence

H. E. JONES ; N. J. WELTON ; A. E. ADES ; M. PIERCE ; W. DAVIES ; B. COLEMAN ; T. MILLAR ; M. HICKMAN | 2016
Dans Addiction (Vol.111, n°3, March 2016) Article : Périodique

Background and Aims: Capture-recapture (CRC) analysis is recommended for estimating the prevalence of problem drug use or people who inject drugs (PWID). We aim to demonstrate how naive application of CRC can lead to highly misleading results, a[...]
