Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS L8RDIR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We examined pharmacists'attitudes and practices related to syringe sales to injection drug users before and after legal reform and local programming to enhance sterile syringe access. We replicated a 1996 study by conducting pharmacist phone surveys and syringe test-buys in randomly selected pharmacies. Test-buy success increased from 48% in 1996 to 65% in 2003 (P=04). Pharmacists agreeing that syringes should be available to injection drug users through pharmacy purchase increased from 49% to 71% (P<. pharmacy policies and pharmacist attitudes were strongly associated with syringe access. structural changes including policy reform outreach appear to increase interventions should address policies.> |
