Estimating the number of people who inject drugs in Australia
These are the first indirect prevalence estimates of injecting drug use in Australia in over a decade. This work has identified that there are limited data available to inform estimates of this population. These estimates can be used as a basis for further work estimating injecting drug use in Australia
Buprenorphine maintenance versus placebo or methadone maintenance for opioid dependence
BACKGROUND: Buprenorphine maintenance treatment has been evaluated in randomised controlled trials against placebo medication, and separately as an alternative to methadone for management of opioid dependence. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate buprenorphine maintenance compared to placebo and to methadone maintenance in the management of opioid dependence, including its ability to retain people in treatment, suppress illicit drug use, reduce criminal activ…
Offending, custody and opioid substitution therapy treatment utilisation among opioid-dependent people in contact with the criminal justice system
Compared to non-Indigenous opioid-dependent people, Indigenous opioid-dependent people in contact with the criminal justice system are charged with a greater number of offences, spend longer in custody and commonly initiate OST in prison. Hence, contact with the criminal justice system provides an important opportunity to engage Indigenous people in OST
Interventions to prevent HIV and Hepatitis C in people who inject drugs
The Edinburgh Addiction Cohort
Injecting drug users recruited from a community setting can be successfully followed-up through interviews and record linkage. Information from injecting cases is being analysed in terms of injecting patterns and possible influences on these. Comparisons between cases and controls will allow identification of possibly modifiable early life risk factors for drug injection and will also clarify the burden of disease associated with injection and th…
Methadone maintenance therapy versus no opioid replacement therapy for opioid dependence
BACKGROUND: Methadone maintenance was the first widely used opioid replacement therapy to treat heroin dependence, and it remains the best-researched treatment for this problem. Despite the widespread use of methadone in maintenance treatment for opioid dependence in many countries, it is a controversial treatment whose effectiveness has been disputed. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) compared with trea…
The Edinburgh Addiction Cohort
Objective: The misuse of substances (alcohol and illicit drugs) during pregnancy is increasingly common in the UK and is associated with poor maternal and foetal outcomes. Current estimates are that 2-3% of children have a substance misusing parent. There is a poor understanding of the demographics of pregnant substance misusers, of the patterns of antenatal service provision and little evidence about which service model is most effective at opti…
An examination of the quality of life among rural and outer metropolitan injecting drug users in NSW, Australia
This article aims to explore the relationship between quality of life (QOL) and health-related behaviours among rural and metropolitan injecting drug users (IDU) using a new scale developed specifically for use with IDU.One-hundred and sixty-four rural and 96 metropolitan IDU from seven different NSW Area Health Services were interviewed using a cross-sectional survey, including the Injection Drug Use Quality of Life (IDUQOL) scale. The mean doma…

Public injecting and the need for ‘safer environment interventions’ in the reduction of drug‐related harm
Background One key structural dimension in the distribution of drug‐related harm associated with injecting drug use is the injecting environment. Epidemiological evidence associates elevated blood‐borne viral risk with injecting in ‘public’ and ‘semipublic’ environments. Yet the quality of evidence on public injecting and related viral risk is variable, and is lacking in many countries such as the United Kingdom. Aim This commentary considers the…
Public opinion towards supervised injecting centres and the Sydney Medically Supervised Injecting Centre
The Sydney Medically Supervised Injecting Centre
The Sydney Medically Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC) commenced operation on a trial basis in May 2001. Operating within a clinical model, the Centre's primary objective is to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with drug overdose. Staff include nurses authorized to administer naloxone to reverse the central nervous system depressant effects of heroin, according to clinical protocols developed and modified for the Centre's setting. Da…
