Needle and syringe provision and disposal in an Australian regional centre / P. G. MILLER

Donner un avis Titre : Needle and syringe provision and disposal in an Australian regional centre Titre traduit : (Mise à disposition et récupération des seringues et des aiguilles dans une région d'Australie) Type de document : Périodique Auteurs : P.

This study combined quantitative data obtained from a number of sources and qualitative data obtained from 60 interviews. An average of 18,337 (SD = 2796) per month were dispensed from NSPs and an average of 5576 needles are returned to NSP sites in Geelong per month. For the current year, 450 needles and syringes per month were placed in publicly located disposal bins. On average there were 19 callouts to discarded needles per month in the Geelong region and these needles constituted 0.38% of the monthly average of needles provided through NSPs. It was concluded that, while discarded needles are of major community concern, the vast majority of needles and syringes provided in this regional centre are not discarded. Findings are discussed in relation to the current laws surrounding the possession of injecting equipment. (Author's abstract.) Note de contenu : tabl. ; graph. Refs biblio. : 20 Affiliation : Sch.

Using the internet to research hidden populations of illicit drug users: a review / P. G. MILLER ; A. L. SONDERLUND in Addiction, Vol.105, n°9 (September 2010)

Donner un avis [article]  in Addiction > Vol.105, n°9 (September 2010) . - 1557-1567 Titre : Using the internet to research hidden populations of illicit drug users: a review Type de document : Périodique Auteurs : P. G. MILLER ; A. L. SONDERLUND Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : 1557-1567 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Thésaurus TOXIBASE POPULATION CACHEE ; INTERNET ; RECHERCHE ; PRODUIT ILLICITE ; ECSTASY ; DROGUES DE SYNTHESE ; METHODE Discipline : EPI Epidémiologie / Epidemiology Domaine : Drogues illicites / Illicit drugs Résumé : AIMS: To review the current research of hidden populations of illicit drugs users using web-based methods and discuss major advantages and disadvantages. METHODS: Systematic review of 16 databases, including PubMed, PsycINFO (EBSCOhost), CSA Sociological Abstracts, Expanded Academic ASAP and Google Scholar. FINDINGS: Substances researched were most commonly 'party/club drugs' (such as ecstasy) and cannabis. All of the studies reviewed concluded that the internet is a useful tool for reaching hidden populations, but is likely to impose some bias in samples. Advantages include: access to previously under-researched target groups; speed; international applications; increased ease of data entry; and improved confidentiality for respondents. The major disadvantage is a lack of representativeness of samples. CONCLUSIONS: Internet research is successful at accessing hidden populations of illicit drugs users, when appropriately targeted and provides unprecedented opportunities for research across a wide range of topics within the addictions field. Findings are unlikely to be generalisable to the general public, but appropriate for describing target populations.
