New
Zealand Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (NZ-ADAM)
A
New Zealand Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (NZ-ADAM) system
was developed as part of the international drug monitoring
network (I-ADAM). NZ-ADAM adopted the core I-ADAM requirements
with adaptations for New Zealand’s drug environment,
legal procedure and the protocols of the New Zealand Police
at watch houses. NZ-ADAM was closely aligned with the Australian
DUMA model to ensure easy comparability with this. NZ-ADAM
examined the prevalence and types of drug use among the arrestee
population, trends in illicit drug markets, gathered general
information on the offending behaviour of the arrestee population,
and monitored drug treatment demand and the utilisation of
drug treatment services. NZ-ADAM also provided demographic
data on the arrestee population and provide the capacity to
gather data on special topics of interest related to the arrestee
population.
