Résumé :
ENGLISH :
In the clinic or drug agency setting, where researchers can be vouched for by staff, research amongst drug users is relatively easy to accomplish. In the community context, where researchers do not have the safety, security and backing of an authoritative third party, much thought needs to be given to utilizing the most appropriate techniques for contacting relevant samples of drug users. Since 1985 [the author] has been involved, in one capacity or another, in conducting research amongst this 'hidden' population of drug users. The empirical and policy orientated questions have changed throughout this time, most crucially as a result of AIDS, but the methodological issues have remained. Central to the latter has been the drive towards developing and refining techniques and strategies that will elicit detailed, accurate and consistent data from a group of respondents that are often reluctant to come to public attention. In this chapter [the author] examines a number of methodological and research issues that arise from the social behaviourial study of illicit drug users, particularly regarding the employment of current or recovering drug users as research workers.
