L’objectif
Person-centered analytical approaches (e.g., latent class analysis) provide a holistic understanding of individuals’ substance use patterns and help understand PSU heterogeneities among PWUO and their specific needs in an inductive manner.
Constatations/points à retenir
We identified five distinct PSU latent classes frequently observed across the studies: Infrequent/low PSU, PSU primarily involving heroin use, PSU primarily involving heroin and stimulant use, PSU primarily involving stimulant use, and frequent PSU. Belonging to higher frequency or severity PSU classes were associated with frequent injection drug use, sharing needles and paraphernalia, high-risk sexual behaviours, as well as experiences of adversities, such as homelessness, incarceration, and poor mental health
