Additional file 1: Figure S1. Geographic distribution of the MMT clinics granted for PMES only or for PMES + MCAM later stratified by the scale of the clinics. Table S1. Subsidized items in the PMES since 2019. Table S2. Complete parameters of models, without autocorrelation adjustment, evaluating the impact of PMES policy intervention on the monthly average number of daily participants comparing the periods of non-PMES vs. PMES, which were divided into PMES only (2019/01~2019/12) and PMES with add-on MCAM later (2019/01~2019/08). Table S3. Complete parameters of models, without autocorrelation adjustment, evaluating the impact of further MCAM policy intervention on the monthly average number of daily participants comparing the periods of pre-MCAM (i.e., PMES only, 2019/01~2019/08) vs. post-MCAM (i.e., PMES+MCAM, 2019/09~2019/12)

Rapid Screening of New Psychoactive Substances Using pDART-QqQ-MS
Drug abuse is a severe social problem worldwide. Particularly,
the issue of new psychoactive substances (NPSs) have increasingly
emerged. NPSs are structural or functional analogs of traditional
illicit drugs, such as cocaine, cannabis, and amphetamine; these molecules
provide the same or more severe neurological effects. Usually, immunoassays
are utilized in the preliminary screening method. However, NPSs have
poor detectability in commercially available immunoassay kits. Meanwhile,
various chromatography combined with the mass spectrometry platform
have been developed to quantify NPSs. Still, a significant amount
of time and resources are required during these procedures. Therefore,
we established a rapid analytical platform for NPSs employing paper-loaded
direct analysis in real time triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (pDART-QqQ-MS).
We implemented this platform for the semiquantitative analysis of
forensic drug tests in urine. This platform significantly shrinks
the analytical time of a single sample within 30 s and requires a
low volume of the specimen. The platform can detect 21 NPSs in urine
mixtures at a lower limit of qualification of concentration ranging
from 20 to 75 nanograms per milliliter (ng mL–1)
and is lower than the cutoff value of currently available immune-based
devices for detecting multiple drugs (1000 ng mL–1). Urine samples from drug addicts have been collected to verify
the platform’s effectiveness. By combining efficiency and accuracy,
our platform offers a promising solution for addressing the challenges
posed by NPSs in drug abuse detection
