Résumé :
ENGLISH :
This article analyzes hidden status among crack, powder cocaine, and heroin users and sellers, in contrast to more accessible users/sellers. Several sampling strategies acquired 657 users (N=559) and sellers (N=98). Indicators of hidden status were those who (1) paid rent in full in the last 30 days, (2) used nonstreet drug procurement, (3) had legal jobs, and (4) earned $1,000 or more in legal income in the last 30 days. Nearly half had of least one indicator, approximately 16% of users/sellers had two to four indicators. In logistic regression analyses, those who had not panhandled in the last 30 days, those who had used powder cocaine in the last 30 days, and those never arrested were the most likely to have hidden status, whether the analysis predicted those having any indicators or those having two to four indicators.The four indicators begin to operationally define hidden status among users of cocaine and heroin.
