This is a common problem with surveys as participants may not feel comfortable or may not want to disclose their actual substance abuse behavior and instead give socially acceptable answers. This may lead to inaccurate data and conclusions. Other options (A, B, and C) may also pose challenges, but they may not be as common or significant as the issue of participants giving false information.
