Résumé : | The purpose of this descriptive study was to compare young Russian NEP attenders (N = 209) and nonattenders (N = 207) on a multitude of dependent variables related to drug and sexual knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Questionnaire data found NEP attenders were more likely to be female, inject more frequently, use heroin heavily, be in long-term relationships, use clean needles, have more unprotected vaginal sex acts, and have drug-using friends with positive safer sex attitudes. Comparisons were also made between male and female NEP attenders, male NEP attenders and nonattenders, female NEP attenders and nonattenders, and male and female NEP nonattenders. Significant differences between those subgroups were found. A logistic regression was run to determine which variables served to predict NEP attendance. Four variables accounted for 17% of the variance and predicted NEP attendance in two thirds of the cases: safer sex attitudes of drug-using friends, heroin use, using new needles to inject, and relationship status.
