The Prison and Transition Health (Path) Cohort Study: Study Protocol and Baseline Characteristics of a Cohort of Men with a History of Injecting Drug Use Leaving Prison in Australia
People who inject drugs (PWID) are disproportionately represented among individuals who experience imprisonment and often have more complex physical and mental health needs than people in prison without injecting histories. The trajectories of PWID after prison release are poorly understood, hampering the development of effective strategies to address their distinct health needs. The Prison and Transition Health (PATH) Cohort Study is characteris…
Men's Performance and Image-Enhancing Drug Use as Self-Transformation: Working Out in Makeover Culture
© 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This article investigates how men who inject performance and image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs) describe their experiences of embodiment and masculinity, locating that analysis in the context of contemporary ‘makeover culture’ and the imperatives of self-transformation. Drawing on qualitative data from interviews we conducted with 60 men who inject PIEDs in Australia, our analysis suggests …

Incarceration history and risk of HIV and hepatitis C virus acquisition among people who inject drugs: A systematic review and meta-analysis
The associations of poor psychiatric well-being among incarcerated men with injecting drug use histories in Victoria, Australia
BACKGROUND: Dual substance dependence and psychiatric and psychological morbidities are overrepresented in prison populations and associated with reoffending. In the context of an increasing prison population in Australia, investigating the needs of vulnerable people in prison with a dual diagnosis can help inform in-prison screening and treatment and improve prison and community service integration and continuation of care. In this study we quan…

How does the use of multiple needles/syringes per injecting episode impact on the measurement of individual level needle and syringe program coverage
How do drug market changes affect characteristics of injecting initiation and subsequent patterns of drug use? Findings from a cohort of regular heroin and methamphetamine injectors in Melbourne, Aust…

Impact of text and email messaging on the sexual health of young people: A randomised controlled trial
OBJECTIVE: To carry out a randomised controlled trial on the effect of a new method of health promotion-email and mobile phone text messages (short messaging service (SMS))-on young people's sexual health. METHODS: 994 people aged 16-29 were recruited at a music festival to a non-blinded randomised controlled trial. Participants were randomised to either receive sexual health promotion messages (n=507) or the control group (n=487). The 12-month i…
P2-511 The relationship between alcohol use and injecting drug use: Impacts on health and social functioning
Introduction Alcohol is a major risk factor for heroin overdose, but the effects of alcohol consumption on other health and social outcomes for people who inject drugs have not been systematically evaluated. In this paper we explore the effects of alcohol on health and social outcomes for people who inject drugs. Methods Data were obtained from 655 people who inject drugs as part of the Melbourne Injecting Drug User cohort study (MIX). AUDIT-C sc…
Home-based chlamydia testing of young people attending a music festival - who will pee and post
A low proportion of participants returned their chlamydia test, suggesting that this model is not ideal for reaching young people. Home-based chlamydia testing is most attractive to those who report engaging in sexual risk behaviours and are aware of the often asymptomatic nature and potential sequelae of chlamydia infection

Poor Man's Smack: A Qualitative Study of Buprenorphine Injecting in Melbourne, Australia
Cross-sectional studies indicate that diversion and injection of buprenorphine intended for oral use is an emerging health issue for Victorian injecting drug users (IDUs). Between June and September 2006 we conducted in-depth interviews with 23 IDUs from Melbourne, Australia, exploring their motivations for engaging in this behavior. Thematic analysis of the data suggests that convenience was a key motivation for buprenorphine injection in Melbou…

Impacts of the Domestic Microwave Oven
Microwave ovens have been adopted by Australian households with remarkable speed. Over 5 million microwave ovens have been sold in Australia, and approximately 77 per cent of Australian homes contain one. It is plausible - but difficult to prove that microwave ovens have reduced time spent cooking. Most foods take less time to prepare in a microwave oven than a conventional oven; women's cooking time has fallen during the microwave's diffusion pe…

Maximising Response Rates in Mail Surveys
Many studies in geography and other disciplines require data to be collected from human subjects. Survey techniques are routinely employed but as expense and time impose powerful constraints there is much interest in methods of making the data collection process as efficient as possible, particularly when the numbers of subjects involved are large. The surveys described here were conducted to collect data for a study of residential water use in M…
Random Time Sampling
Random Time Sampling is an innovative data collection method which has potential for adaptation and use by geographers. Individual pocket‐sized programmable beepers were used in a pilot study of the uses of time by older households and older people's attitudes to different activities. Random beeps were used to prompt individuals living in eleven Melbourne suburbs to record time use data in diaries over a period of a week. The method proved extrem…
