Résumé : | This article engages in a sociological analysis of young women's experiences of initiation; its aim is to complement epidemiological research on women injectors’ relative vulnerability to drug-related risk through an exploration of the social conditions in which this increased vulnerability is produced. This article is based on the findings of qualitative research indicating that young women's initiation to injecting drug use often takes place in the context of intimate relationships. The analysis presented explores the social and personal significance of intimate relationships in young women's lives, and the link between risk-taking and intimacy. [Author's abstract] |
