"This document describes methods that can be used to rapidly assess the nature, extent and
consequences of substance abuse and related problems in society. It will be of interest to policy
makers, program developers, researchers, members of community-based organizations and
others who wish to ensure that policies and programs concerning substance use and abuse are
evidence-based. In recognition of mounting concerns about the use of methamphetamine in Canada and around the world, this paper will focus largely on methamphetamine when providing illustrations of how rapid assessment techniques can be used to improve substance abuse decision making.
