- 'I Always Kept a Job': Income Generation, Heroin Use and Economic Uncertainty in 21st Century Detroit
This qualitative study, based on a series of 30 in-depth interviews and 109 economic surveys conducted with active heroin users residing in and around Detroit, Michigan, describes reported patterns of heroin use and income generation activities.

We draw a connection between these stable patterns of addiction and income generation a...

- Proposed Collection, Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Grant Program Evaluation
The Institute of Museum and Library Services as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the general public and federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3508(2)(A)].
