Agreement Between Urine Drug Test Result and Timeline Follow-Back Data for Cocaine Use

3-day detection window
5-day detection window
Reporter of cocaine use % agreement κ Yule's Y % agreement κ Yule's Y
Subject .84 .53 .68 .87 .65 .80
Collaterala .72 .77 .30 .53

Note. n = 159 subjects with urine drug test results. Urine drug test results were coded as positive/negative for cocaine use. Timeline Follow-Back data were coded yes/no for cocaine use within each detection window. Boldface values of Yule's Y (≥ .50) reflect acceptable subject-collateral agreement.

a

Values for kappa and Yule's Y could not be computed for the 3-day detection window because there were no collateral reports of subject cocaine use within the 3-day window (i.e., cell counts = 0).
