Resource Description: The primary objective of this survey is to estimate the change in average income and general expenditures of methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) clients associated with starting MMT care. The null hypothesis is that income among MMT clients is the same before and after they started MMT.
Additionally, this survey will provide data to help to inform estimates of changes in job status associated with enrollment in MMT. This survey also serves to supplement a second survey assessing the income of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).
