Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Les données viennent d'une étude de suivi menée de 1999 à 2003 dans laquelle les chercheurs ont essayé de relocaliser les clients initialement recrutés dans la rue, à Denver, Colorado de 1990 à 1995. Au total 773 sujets ont été relocalisés dont 578 avaient participé à l'étude de suivi. Les résultats montrent une amélioration des comportements à haut risque. Cependant plus de la moitié rapporte des rapports sexuels non protégés.
ENGLISH :
Drug users are at high risk for disease due to injection and sex behaviors. Longitudinal research with drug users can help researchers understand reasons for continued high-risk behaviors among this vulnerable population. Data are from a follow-up study conducted from 1999 to 2003, which attempted to relocate clients who were initially recruited through street outreach in Denver, Colorado from 1990 to 1995. A total of 773 subjects were located (82% relocation rate), 578 of whom were interviewed at follow-up. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvement in most high-risk injection and sex behaviors. However, over half the sample reported having sex without a condom at follow-up. Further analysis revealed that having sex without a condom at baseline, not having previously participated in drug treatment, being of an ethnicity other than African American, smoking crack, and having sex with a drug injector were all significantly related to having sex without a condom at follow-up. These findings are discussed with regards to developing interventions in order to increase condom use in this high risk population. (Author' s abstract)
