Report To The Attorney General


Heroin Statistics Can Be

Made More Reliable





The Federal Government uses statistical indi-
cators to assess the drug situation in the United
States. Because of congressional concern a-
bout the indicators' reliability and because
heroin is the Government's number one drug
priority, GAO examined several statistical in-
dicators the Government uses to assess its per-
formance in the heroin fight.

All of the indicators examined have problems
that affect their reliability. Since heroin abuse
and trafficking are clandestine activities, com-
plete confidence in the Government's heroin
assessment will never be achieved. However,
improvements are possible.
