I've been looking to find these surveys to read, instead of just the news account, and can't find them. Have they been published, and if so, do you have any idea where to find them? Thanks!

The survey and the accompanying news release can be found at http://www.naco.org/Template.cfm?Section=Publications&template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=18872.

If you have any trouble with the URL, simply search Google using these key words: National Association of Counties methamphetamine survey.

Good luck.
