| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS OR0xTt3t. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We sought to characterize substance use patterns in young men who have sex with men (MSM) in 7 US urban areas and sociodemographic characteristics and history associated with such use. Methods : We examined data collected from 1994 through 1998 in a venue based, cross-sectional survey. Results : Among the 3492 participants, 66% reported use of illicit drugs ; 28%, use of 3 or more drugs ; 29%, frequent drug use (once a week or more) ; and 4%, injection drug use. These practices were more common among participants who were White, self-identified as bisexual or heterosexual, had run away, or had experienced forced sex. Conclusions : Effective drug prevention and treatment programs addressing local drug-use patterns and associated factors are urgently needed for young MSM, a population with a high rate of illicit drug use. |
