Burrows, D., & Price, C. (1993). Peer education among IDUs in Baltimore (US) and Sydney (Australia) : similarities and differences within a model of peer education. In International Conference on AIDS. Berlin.
Abstract: An HIV “explosion” has occurred among injecting drug users (IDUs) in many countries in the developed and developing world. The paper describes peer education programmes currently under way in Baltimore (where around 25% of the city’s 40,000 IDUs are HIV-positive) and Sydney (with about 5% of its 60,000 IDUs HIV-positive). In these programmes, IDUs educate their peers about HIV, safe injecting, safe sex and issues related to street drug use such as homelessness and survival. The paper provides a model of peer education among injectors and shows how the model has been adapted to the specific circumstances of IDUs in each city. The paper also shows that meetings and regular communication between the two groups has resulted in an expansion of programmes in the two cities.

Burrows, D. (1993). Establishing an international communications network for injecting drug user groups : abstract. In International Conference on AIDS. Berlin.
Abstract: An HIV “explosion” has occurred among injecting drug users (IDUs) in many countries in the developed and developing world. The paper describes the establishment of the International Drug Users Network (IDUN) at a meeting of representatives of IDU groups in Melbourne, Australia in March 1992. Representatives from IDU groups in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, the Netherlands, Nepal and the USA attended the meeting, which resulted in a communications network being set up for exchange of information and ideas on HIV prevention among IDUs, increasing recognition of IDUs’ human rights, activities and policies of IDU groups, and effects of drug and HIV policies on injecting drug users. The paper will detail the first year of IDUN’s operations, suggest new directions for the network and provide recommendations for authorities trying to prevent HIV among IDUs.

Burrows, D. (1993). Establishing and maintaining credibility as an injecting drug users group : street cred versus professionalism : abstract. In International Conference on AIDS. Berlin.
Abstract: New South Wales contains a large proportion of Australia’s estimated 200,000 to 300,000 injecting drug users (IDUs). This paper describes the development of NUAA (New South Wales Users and AIDS Association), an injecting drug users group, and the roles played by IDUs in the establishment and maintenance of NUAA’s services (Education Services, Community Services, Information/Tribes, and Needle Exchange/Referral) and NUAA Working Groups (Research, Newsletter Production, and HIV Support Group). The paper details the many ways in which IDUs (from both inside and outside the organisation) have become involved in NUAA, and how that involvement has changed as the organisation has grown. It also addresses the issues of professional behaviour by NUAA staff and the need for the organisation to be seen as credible at a governmental and policy making level to effectively represent the interests of IDUs while at the same time ensuring that it never becomes aloof from its constituency. The paper concludes with a set of recommendations for anyone interested in setting up an injecting drug users group for HIV prevention, education and advocacy.

Barton, E. D., Colwell, C., Ramos, J., Benson, J., Baily, J., & Dunn, W. (2002). Intranasal administration of naloxone by paramedics.. Denver Health Medical Center, Denver Health Paramedic Division; University of Utah Health Sciences Center, Division of Emergency Medicine.
Abstract: Naloxone is a medication that is frequently administered in the field by paramedics for suspected opioid overdoses. Most prehospital protocols, however, require this medication to be given to patients intravenously (i.v.) or intramuscularly (i.m.). Unfortunately, intravenous line placement may be problematic and time-consuming in chronic i.v. drug users. There may also be a delay in patient response to opioid reversal with i.m. absorption of naloxone. Additionally, routine use of needles in high-risk populations poses an increased risk of occupational blood exposures to paramedics. OBJECTIVE: To prospectively test the effectiveness of intranasal (i.n.) naloxone administration by paramedics. This preliminary report summarizes the first month’s experience in the city of Denver. METHODS: Naloxone was first administered to patients found unconscious in the field using a nasal mucosal atomizer device (MAD). Patients were then treated using standard prehospital protocols, which included i.v. line placement and medications, if they did not immediately respond to i.n. naloxone. Time to patient response was recorded. RESULTS: A total of 30 patients received i.n. naloxone in the field over a one-month period. Of these, 11 patients responded to either i.n. or i.v. naloxone. Ten (91%) patients responded to i.n. naloxone alone, with an average response time of 3.4 minutes. Seven patients (64%) did not require an i.v. in the field after response to i.n. naloxone. CONCLUSIONS: Intranasal naloxone may provide a safe, rapid, effective way to manage suspected opioid overdoses in the field. Use of this route may decrease paramedic exposures to blood-borne diseases. The addition of i.n. naloxone administration to prehospital protocols should be considered as an initial therapy for suspected opioid abusers.
