Brief Summary

The primary goal of this study is to identify factors which may put a person that has used methamphetamine at greater risk for mental and physical health problems and social problems and factors that may lessen the risk for these problems. This study will also compare methamphetamine use between Latino and non-Latino persons and those that live in a rural area or urban area. The investigators hypothesis is that rural persons with methamphetamine dependence will have greater socio-demographic, bio-psychosocial and behavioral risk factors than their urban counterparts.

• Healthy Volunteers: Yes

• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

This is a study of 150 rural and urban persons in treatment for methamphetamine dependence. We propose to enroll 150 participants (75 rural and 75 urban) over a two year period. Of these 150 participants, 75 will be Latino and 75 non-Latino (approximately 37 rural and 37 urban for each group).

You may qualify if:

• Adults in SUD treatment facilities meeting DSM-IV criteria for methamphetamine dependence and able to provide informed consent.
• We intend to oversample Latinos in order to achieve a group with sufficient power to compare to non-Latinos. Our goal is to recruit 75 Latinos and 75 non-Latinos.

You may not qualify if:

• Persons not meeting the DSM-IV criteria for methamphetamine dependence and persons unable to complete informed consent.
