The study of acceptability HIV self-testing among Iranian injecting drug users
Iran's HIV stigma may discourage regular testing, but self-testing can help overcome challenges. Support for counseling, care links, and accurate information dissemination are crucial
Shining light on darkness
Background Illicit drug use and dependence is a well-established risk factor for self-harm and suicide. The present comparative study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempt among Iranian women.Methods With a cross-sectional design, a total of 787 Iranian women who reported using illicit drugs and 406 women without drug use history were recruited and invited to answer questions regarding their socio-demographic s…
Social and structural determinants of health associated with drug use patterns among female sex workers in Iran
Global Prison Health Care Governance and Health Equity
The large and growing population of people who experience incarceration makes prison health an essential component of public health and a critical setting for reducing health inequities. People who experience incarceration have a high burden of physical and mental health care needs and have poor health outcomes. Addressing these health disparities requires effective governance and accountability for prison health care services, including delivery…
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Regular Methamphetamine Use in Methadone Treatment
This study evaluated the efficacy of brief cognitive behavioral therapy (BCBT) for regular methamphetamine use among methadone-maintained women. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in four methadone treatment services. Eligible women were assigned to receive either BCBT or drug education. Five questionnaires were used to assess the research hypotheses at weeks 0, 4, and 12. Urinalysis was used to verify self-reported methamphetamine use a…
Measuring performance on the Healthcare Access and Quality Index for 195 countries and territories and selected subnational locations
BACKGROUND: A key component of achieving universal health coverage is ensuring that all populations have access to quality health care. Examining where gains have occurred or progress has faltered across and within countries is crucial to guiding decisions and strategies for future improvement. We used the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) to assess personal health-care access and quality with the Healthc…

Injecting risk behaviours following treatment for hepatitis C virus infection among people who inject drugs
People who inject drugs in prison
In 2011, over 10.1 million people were held in prisons around the world. HIV prevalence is elevated in prison and this is due to the over representation of people who inject drugs (PWID). Yet HIV prevention programs for PWID are scarce in the prison setting. With a high proportion of drug users and few prevention programs, HIV transmission occurs and sometimes at an alarming rate. This commentary focuses primarily on drug users in prison; their r…
Incidence of primary hepatitis C infection and risk factors for transmission in an Australian prisoner cohort
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is common in prisoner populations, particularly those with a history of injecting drug use (IDU). Previous studies of HCV incidence have been based on small case numbers and have not distinguished risk events in prison from those in the community. HCV incidence was examined in a longitudinal cohort of 488 Australian prisoners with a history of IDU and documented to be seronegative within 12 months prior to enrolm…

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…
Shooting Gallery Operation in the Context of Establishing a Medically Supervised Injecting Center
Drug Use and Its Correlates in an Australian Prisoner Population
The prevalence of past and present tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use is examined in a cross sectional random sample of prisoners. 789 male and female prisoners from 27 correctional centres across New South Wales (NSW) participated in the survey. Information was collected using a face-to-face interview on community and prison drug use, and intoxication while offending. Current tobacco use was reported by 72% of the sample. Use of alcohol by f…
