Résumé : |
ENGLISH :
We found a sustained reduction in the number of needles and syringes distributed in NSW [New South Wales] after a considerable decrease in heroin supply. Given the widespread and easy availability of needles and syringes in NSW, the data on provision are a useful proxy for changes in the number of injecting drug users or in the frequency of injecting, or both. The trends observed here were also consistent with estimated reductions in the number of regular heroin users after the heroin shortage. These data suggest an overall reduction in the prevalence of injecting drug use after a decrease in heroin supply. (Extract of the publication) |
