Comparison of self-reported survey and wastewater-based epidemiology measures of cocaine use on a college campus

WBE shows promise as a complementary approach for estimating current cocaine use among students on a residential campus; with current data the WBE point estimate is similar to the survey point estimate, but uncertainty in both measures (especially the survey) requires further research.

Abstract

WBE shows promise as a complementary approach for estimating current cocaine use among students on a residential campus; with current data the WBE point estimate is similar to the survey point estimate, but uncertainty in both measures (especially the survey) requires further research.
