Résumé :
|
[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST zAigOR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. In this study (n=200), the characteristics of IDUs participating in a provincial needle exhange program (NEP) for more than 2 years (>2 years), were compared with those of IDUs having participated for less than 2 years (<= 2 years). Compared to the <= 2 years, the>2 years were more often recipients of welfare (RC : 4,7), especially among the HIV-positive (RC : 62.0) ; tried quitting drugs more frequently (RC : 3.8) ; more often recommended the NEP to other IDUs (RC : 3.1) ; and more often requested being given shelter and longer opening hours (RC : 3.6). These results highlight the urgent need to improve and develop transitional and support services for the>2 years. Preventive interventions that would reach out to the <= 2 years where they live should also be implemented in close collaboration with organizations involved in mental health and drug use prevention.
