| Abstract |
Benzodiazepine use among injecting drug users (IDUs) presents a major clinical and public health problem that may increase in importance. The current paper examines the research on the extent of benzodiazepine use among IDUs and the harmful consequences associated with such use. Numerous studies have found benzodiazepine use to be widespread among IDUs, and to be associated with greater levels of risk-taking and polydrug use, and poorer psychosocial functioning than other IDUs. The injection of benzodiazepines has also been reported, and presents problems in itself. The implications of existing research for both clinical practice and research are discussed. |

| Abstract |
Vending machines providing sterile injection equipment are part of the AIDS prevention measures for injecting drug users (IDU) in Berlin. A study was carried out to assess characteristics (history of iv drug use, frequency of use of the machines, contact with counselling units for IDU, attitudes towards the machines, HIV serostatus) in users of syringe vending machines. Of the 313 individuals surveyed 77% reported using the vending machines regularly (more than four times a week). Compared to other studies of IDU in Berlin (e.g. at syringe exchange programmes) the users of the vending machines hat a significantly shorter history of iv drug use. Overall, 72% of the IDU had had contacts at some time with specialised agencies for counselling on drug abuse and AIDS; however, only 33% had such contacts currently. Sixty-five percent of the IDU commented critically on the machines or made suggestions for improvement; 18% had experienced that the machines did not always work well, 14% called for more machines. HIV seroprevalence based on selfreported test results (N=252) was 20%. In multivariate statistical analysis positive HIV serostatus was associated with site of interview, longer history of intravenous drug use, and current contact with counselling agencies. Despite the ready availability of syringes and needles, 25% of the participants reported borrowing injection equipment from other IDU in the previous six months. This proportion was significantly higher in IDU younger than 25 years (39%). In addition to syringe exchange programmes and pharmacies, the syringe vending machines appear to be an important source of sterile injection equipment for IDU in Berlin particularly for those without current contacts to specialised counselling units. Automaten zur Abgabe steriler injektionsbestecke sind in Berlin Teil der AIDS-Präventionsmassnahmen für iv Drogenkonsumenten (IVD). Eine Studie wurde durchgeführt, um Informationen zu bestimmten Charakteristika (Inanspruchnahme der Automaten, Kontakt zu Beratungseinrichtungen für IVD, Kritik/Verbesserungsvorschläge zu den Automaten, HIV-Serostatus) bei den Benutzern der Automaten zu gewinnen Siebenundsiebzig Prozent der 313 Untersuchten benutzten die Automaten regelmässig (mehr als viermal wöchentlich). Im Vergleich zu einer Studie bei IVD in Spritzentauschprogrammen war die Dauer des iv Drogenkonsums bei den Benutzern der Spritzenautomaten signifikant kürzer. Zwar hatten 72% schon einmal Kontakt zu Beratungseinrichtungen für IVD gehabt, zur Zeit der Untersuchung bestanden solche Kontakte jedoch nur bei 33% Von allen Untersuchten äusserten 65% Kritik oder Verbesserungsvorschläge zu den Automaten bei 18% hatten diese nicht immer funktioniert 14% forderten mehr Automaten. Die HIV-infektionsraten bei denjenigen mit bekanntem Testergebnis (N=252) lag bei 20%. In der multivariaten statistischen Analyse waren, Untersuchungsort, längere Dauer des iv Konsums und aktueller Kontakt zu Beratungseinrichtungen signifikant mit einem positiven HIV-Serostatus assoziiert. Trotz der guten Verfügbarkeit von sterilen injektionsbestecken gaben 25% der Befragten an, in den letzten 6 Monaten gebrauchte Spritzbestecke von anderen IVD benutzt zu haben. Dieser Anteil war bei jüngeren IVD (<25 Jahren) mit 39% signifikant erhöht. Die Spritzenautomaten stellen eine wichtige Ergänzung zur Abgabe von sterilen Spritzen und Kanülen in Spritzentauschprogrammen und Apotheken dar, insbesondere für IVD ohne Kontakt zu spezialisierten Beratungseinrichtungen. La mise en place de distributeurs automatiques de seringues stériles pour les toxicomanes fait partie des mesures préventives contre le SIDA à Berlin. Une étude a été réalisée pour déterminer les caractéristiques des usagers de distributeurs automatiques (utilisation des distributeurs, contacts avec les services d’aide aux toxicomanes, avis à propos des distributeurs, status sérologique VIH). Parmi les 313 personnes participant à l’étude, 77% ont déclaré utiliser les distributeurs régulièrement (plus de 4 fois par semaine). 72% des participants avaient en des contacts avec des services specialisés d’aide aux toxicomanes mais seulement 33% utilisaient ces services au moment de l’etude. 65% de personnes examinées ont éxprimé leurs critiques ou suggestions pour l’amélioration des distributeurs: 18% ont signalé que les distributeurs ne fonctionnaient pas toujours, 14% demandaient l’installation d’un plus grand nombre de ceux-ci. La prévalence de l’infection à VIH rapportées par les toxicomanes était de 20% (N=252) Une analyse statistique multivariée montre que la séropositivité au VIH est associée avec de lieu de l’examen, la durée de la consommation de drogue par injection et le contact avec des services d’aide. Malgré la disponibilité de seringues stériles; 25% des personnes ont indiqué avoir utilisé du matériel d’injection usagé au cours des 6 derniers mois. Cette proportion était significativement plus élevée parmi les toxicomanes de moins de 25 ans (39%). Les distributeurs automatiques semblent constituer un complément important au programme d’échange de seringues stériles en particulier pour les toxicomanes qui n’ont pas de contact avec les services d’aide aux toxicomanes. |
