Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Cette étude a permis de suivre pendant 2,5 à 5 ans une cohorte de 150 toxicomanes londoniens, avec un succès de 77% dans le suivi. 37% des sujets ont cessé de consommer de la drogue, dont 71% vivant en milieu non-institutionnel. Ces résultats positifs sont peut être liés à l'information concomittante sur les dangers du SIDA.
ENGLISH :
In a 2,5-5 years follow-up study of 150 drug misusers who where new to treatment at three London Drug Treatment agencies, a 77% follow-up rate was obtained. High rates of self-reported abstinence from opiates and other drugs were found. Some 37% of those followed-up were totally drug free at follow-up. Seventy-one per cent were living in the community and of those 73% were opiate free and 35% were totally drug free. Only 18% had injected in the 4 weeks prior to follow-up. Thirteen per cent in prison and 12% were resident in a therapeutic community. Being told about the dangers of HIV had persuaded some people to give up using drugs. (Author's abstract)
