| Résumé : | Factors associated with the sharing of injecting equipment have been widely studied (McKegany, Friedman, & Mesquita, 1998); however, very few studies have looked at the factors associated with the use of cleaned needles/syringes. Those studies that have examined the use of cleaned equipment have looked at this in the context of reported sharing events - even though much sharing is probably inadvertent and so unknown - rather than looking at any injections using cleaned needles/syringes. We explore the factors associated with having injected using cleaned needles/syringes among a large sample of people who inject drugs recruited in the UK. The aim of this analysis was to identify those sub-groups who are most likely to inject using cleaned needles/syringes so that interventions can be appropriately targeted. [Extract] |
