L’objectif
The current study examined associations between longitudinal changes in egocentric social networks of male and female people who use drugs (PWUD) and engagement in drug use reduction programs, broadly defined as either formal SUD treatment or self-help groups.
Constatations/points à retenir
Among both male and female respondents, higher turnover into non-kin networks was associated with increased odds of engagement in drug use reduction programs. For men, retention of intimate partner networks was associated with increased odds of program engagement; for women, higher turnover into kin networks was associated with decreased odds of engagement. [Presumably the first sentence combines both sexes? Or this is inconsistent.]
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
Using data from an HIV prevention and care study in Baltimore, MD, this study categorized PWUD into those who engaged and did not engage in any drug use reduction programs over two follow-ups during a one-year observation window.
