Proactive Bias Mitigation When Using Online Survey Panels for Self-Reported Use of Illicitly Manufactured Fentanyl in the General Adult Population
Results of this survey study suggest that fentanyl use has shifted toward oral use, which may contribute to observed lower mortality rates despite an increase in prevalence of use. Methods intended to reduce systematic bias have a strong influence on low prevalence behavior estimates and should be implemented for all survey-based drug use surveillance.
