Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Objective: Objective is to evaluate 15 workshops designed to improve injection practices among injecting drug users. Method: Sample includes 229 male and female injecting drug users assigned non-randomly to one comparison group or to one workshop user-group. They were assessed three times using a questionnaire including questions on injection patterns and mediating variables for risk-injecting. Results: Workshops designed for improving injection practices were associated with significant reductions in risk-injecting behaviors and a significant increase in using a new syringe. They were also associated with significant improvements in mediating variables for injection patterns: knowledge on injection-risk and AIDS, self-efficacy and motivation for risk-reduction in injecting drug use. Moreover, users of these workshops reported high satisfaction levels. Conclusions: The findings provide encouraging support for these short-interventions designed for risk-reduction among injecting drug users, and also for previous efforts in training a network of health professionals involved in risk reduction among drug users.
