Abstract: Reuter et al. [1] highlight the limitations of using a general population survey (GPS) to determine the prevalence of frequent heroin use. Data from such surveys are likely to suffer from item non-response and under-reporting. In addition, frequent heroin use is relatively rare in the overall population, and the subpopulation of heavy users may, therefore, be poorly covered by the sampling frame.
