Inclusion Criteria

INCLUSION CRITERIA:<br><br>The enrollment target in Phase B is 650 community-dwelling individuals (at least 325 of<br>whom we anticipate will provide 12-month Visit #2 data in our 3 main study groups).<br>Enrollment for Phase A + Phase B + Phase C =3000.<br><br> - Age at least 18 years. Rationale: Children under 18 will not be included because<br> many of the measures to be administered in this study are not validated for use with<br> children. Furthermore, the research question under investigation is the drug<br> trajectories of adults, over the age of 18. However, there is no intervention in<br> this study that is contraindicated for older adults, and given that addiction in the<br> elderly is understudied, it is important to include elderly individuals.<br><br> - Residence in Baltimore city or one of the surrounding counties. Rationale: Our<br> current geographic mapping technology currently only includes these areas.<br><br>EXCLUSION CRITERIA:<br><br>-Inability to provide informed consent.
