Abstract

This piece of research on estimating the numbers of heroin users in the ACT is a significant addition to the estimates that were derived in Stage 1 (Stevens et al.,1991). In this working paper Ann Larson discusses the need to carefully define what it is that is being estimated and the advantages and disadvantages of various methods.
