 AB    The validity of drug and sexual behavior data collected by drug user
       treatment staff using a short clinical risk assessment among 387
       injection drug users is evaluated using in-depth, confidential interview
       process. Moderate to high agreement levels were found for most, but not
       all, variables. Participants consistently reported less risky behaviors
       on the clinical risk assessment than on the in-depth interview. More
       easily recalled information can be accurately gathered through a short
       clinical risk assessment. However, in-depth, confidential interviewing
       is important when gathering self-reports of the frequency of drug and
       sexual behaviors.
