Résumé : |
ENGLISH : Epidemiological trends of hepatitis infections among methamphetamine (MA)-dependent individuals are important public health and policy issues. The burden of such infections among MA-dependent users has not been widely studied. This letter extends research to a previously reported study (Gonzales, Marinelli-Casey, Shoptaw, Ang, & Rawson, 2006) on hepatitis C infection among MA-dependent adults who participated in outpatient treatment. In this study, rates were estimated at 15% among a sample of 723 MA-dependent users, with 44% of infections in injection users. In a recent study, rates of hepatitis A and B infection among a sample of 284 MA-dependent adults were examined. (Extract of the publication) |
