| Résumé : |
ENGLISH : Aims: The aim of this study was to determine whether injecting drug users (IDUs) living in hostels for the homeless were more likely to engage in blood-borne virus associated injecting risk behaviour than those living elsewhere. Design: Four-hundred-and-fifty-three IDUs who had commenced injecting post-1995 were recruited from community settings in Glasgow and interviewed during 200102 using a structured questionnaire (quantitative component). Respondents who had commenced injecting post-1998 were also invited to participate in an in-depth interview to explore contextual factors that influence injecting risk behaviour (qualitative component). Results: Individuals interviewed during the qualitative component of the study reported witnessing prolific sharing of needles and syringes (n/s) in hostels. Multi-factorial logistic regression found that hostel residence was independently associated with injecting with a n/s previously used by a friend, acquaintance or family member (OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.012.49), passing on used n/s (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.082.69), borrowing used n/s in a shooting gallery (OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.044.77), borrowing used n/s from multiple sharing partners (OR 2.33, 95% CI 1.174.64) and sharing spoons during drug preparation (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.032.73) in the 6 months prior to interview. Conclusions: The hostel environment appears to be conducive to high-risk injecting behaviour. |
