About the Substance Use and Misuse Calculators

Two tools for substance use and misuse research are currently available:

  • Conversion factors for determining morphine- and lorazepam-equivalent doses
  • Urine toxicology testing - Method, reporting, and detection cut-off chart

These resources were developed by researchers and clinicians (Principal Investigator: Aleksandra Zgierska, MD, PhD) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine & Public Health – Department of Family Medicine.
