Dans International Journal of Drug Policy (Vol.47, September 2017) Article : Périodique

Background: It is unclear whether treatment and care for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can help people who inject drugs (PWID) modify their injection drug use behaviours. This study examined changes in injection drug use among PWID with acut[...]

Socioeconomic stability is associated with lower injection frequency among people with distinct trajectories of injection drug use

Dans International Journal of Drug Policy (Vol.94, August 2021) Article : Périodique

Background: Little is known about how socioeconomic circumstances relate to injection frequencies among people who inject drugs (PWID) with diverse trajectories of injection. We aimed to characterize trajectories of injection drug use in a commu[...]
