Title Injecting drug users' attitudes to needle-sharing, hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS and harm minimisation Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication Akzeptanzorientierte Drogenarbeit = Acceptance-oriented drug work Abbreviated Journal
Volume 1 Issue 29.12.2004 Pages 29-34
Keywords social services; harm reduction; intravenous drug user; needle sharing; hepatitis C; HIV infection; Aids
Abstract (down) Objective – To measure injecting drug user’s attitudes to allowing other persons to use a needle and syringe known to be contaminated with hepatitis C virus. Methods – Demographic and historical data were collected at interview from a convenience sample of methadone and buprenorphine maintenance patients in mid-2002. Respondents also answered 12 attitudinal items on needlesharing, hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS and harm minimisation. Results – Subjects generally understood the threat posed by HIV and hepatitis C virus including the risk of reinfection with hepatitis C. They supported needle and syringe exchanges (90%) and safe injecting rooms (84%) and a majority supported the decriminalization of cannabis (69%) and the prescription of heroin to addicts (61%). However, forty-one of 100 respondents either failed to reject the proposition that “Even if I had hepC, I’d let people use needles after me – I’d warn them but it’s their risk” or failed to accept the proposition “If I had hepC, I’d never let anyone use my needles after me, even if it meant they didn’t get a hit”. Conclusion – Despite an awareness of the risks involved, many Sydney injecting drug users are still prepared to let other people use a needle and syringe known to be contaminated with hepatitis C virus. Implications – Attempts should be made to reduce the supply of contaminated needles and syringes by encouraging injecting drug users to take responsibility for the health and safety of other users.

Title La question du genre dans l'analyse des pratiques addictives à travers le Baromètre santé, France, 2005 Type Journal Article
Year 2009 Publication Bulletin épidémiologique hebdomadaire thématique Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue 10-11, numéro thématique : Femmes et addictions; Pages 90-93
Keywords gender; AOD use; alcoholic beverage; tobacco product; cannabis product; addictive drug; addictive behavior
Abstract (down) Objectifs – Évaluer l’influence du genre sur les usages de substances psychoactives parmi les adultes en France, suivant le niveau d’éducation, le statut face à l’emploi, la profession et catégorie sociale. Méthode – Le Baromètre santé 2005 est une enquête téléphonique nationale représentative des 12-75 ans suivant un sondage à deux degrés (ménages, individus) incluant les téléphones portables. Cette étude est centrée sur les 24 674 individus âgés de 18 à 64 ans. Les données ont été analysées à l’aide de régressions logistiques ajustées sur l’âge et trois indicateurs de situation sociale. Résultats – Les niveaux d’usage sont plus élevés parmi les hommes. Pour les deux sexes, une surconsommation de tabac est liée au chômage. La consommation d’alcool et l’ivresse alcoolique sont plus communes parmi les hommes sans emploi, mais pas parmi les femmes, chez qui la consommation d’alcool, l’ivresse et le cannabis sont plus fréquents chez les cadres que chez les ouvriers, ce qui n’est pas le cas pour les hommes. Des résultats similaires sont observés pour le niveau de diplôme, associé à des consommations plus élevées d’alcool, des ivresses plus fréquentes et un usage de cannabis plus répandu parmi les femmes, mais moins élevé parmi les hommes. Par conséquent, pour ces usages, les écarts entre les hommes et les femmes diminuent avec l’élévation du milieu social, quel que soit l’indicateur retenu. Conclusion – Les hommes sont généralement plus consommateurs de drogues que les femmes, mais l’ampleur de la différence varie suivant le milieu social : lorsqu’ils occupent des positions plus favorables, les hommes tendent à adopter des comportements d’usages plus raisonnables, tandis que les femmes ont tendance à les « masculiniser ». Gender issue in the analysis of addictive behaviours observed in the Baromètre santé study, France, 2005 Objectives – Assess the influence of gender on the use of psychoactive substances among adults in France depending on the level of education, and employment, occupational, and social status. Method – The present study (Baromètre santé) is a national representative telephone survey conducted in 2005 (two stages sample, household and individuals, mobile phones included) among 12-75-years-old. It focuses on 24,674 subjects aged 18-64 years. The data were analyzed using logistic regression adjusted on age and three social status indicators. Results – Psychoactive substances use is more prevalent in men. For both sexes, over-consumption of tobacco is related to unemployment. alcohol consumption and drunkenness are more common among unemployed men but not among women, in whom along with cannabis, they are more frequent among senior executives than among unskilled workers, which is not the case for men. Similar results are observed about the level of education, which is linked to a greater level of alcohol and cannabis use among women, but lower among men. Therefore, the gap between genders narrows as the social status increases, whatever the indicator used. Conclusion – Men generally consume more drugs than women, but the extent of differences varies depending on the social environment: when they have more favorable occupations, men tend to adopt more reasonable behaviours, whereas women’s behaviours tend to compare with men’s behaviours.
