Résumé : |
ENGLISH : The objective of this study is to investigate differences between Hispanic and non-Hispanic drug users in Long Beach, CA, with respect to drug use, HIV risk behaviors, and drug treatment experience and to explore the dissimilarities between Hispanic drug users who identify their family origin as Mexican American compared to those who identify their family origin as Mexican. We recruited 1,728 drug users into an HIV risk reduction intervention; of these, 404 were Hispanic. The Risk Behavior Assessment (RBA) was used to collect information on demographics, drug and sex risk behaviors, and drug treatment experience. Hispanic drug users are significantly more likely to inject drugs than non-Hispanic drug users and were found to have a higher mean number of injections in the last 30 days. Hispanic drug users were more likely to have taken part in drug treatment programs, specifically methadone detoxification and maintenance programs. Self-identified Mexican drug users were less likely to have ever attended a drug treatment program than were Mexican-American drug users. Greater availability of drug treatment programs for monolingual and bilingual Hispanic injectors is needed. (Author's abstract.) |
