Field Testing the “Avoid the Needle” Intervention for Persons at Risk for Transitioning to Injecting Drug Use in Tallinn, Estonia and New York City, USA
This study aimed to field tested the "Avoid the Needle" (AtN) intervention to reduce transitions from non-injecting to injecting drug use in two different epidemiological settings. Respondent driven sampling was used to recruit current non-injecting drug users (NIDUs) in Tallinn, Estonia in 2018-19 and in New York City (NYC) in 2019-20. Both persons who had never injected and persons who had previously injected but not in the last 6 months were e…
A Multistage Process Model of How a Person Who Currently Injects Drugs Comes to Assist Persons Who Do not Inject with Their First Injections
Injecting drugs for the first time almost always requires assistance from an experienced person who injects drugs (PWID). While there has been moderate amount of research on PWID who assist with first injections, most of this research has focused on identifying characteristics of PWID who assist with first injections. We do not have a formal model that describes how the minority of PWID come to assist do so, while the majority never assist. Throu…
The fentanyl epidemic in Estonia
Implementing an Updated “Break the Cycle” Intervention to Reduce Initiating Persons into Injecting Drug Use in an Eastern European and a US “opioid epidemic” Setting
Mortality of registered drug users in Central Asia
Prevalence of Igra-positivity and risk factors for tuberculosis among injecting drug users in Estonia and Latvia
Post-Soviet Central Asia
Socio-demographic factors, health risks and harms associated with early initiation of injection among people who inject drugs in Tallinn, Estonia
A decline in the prevalence of injecting drug users in Estonia, 2005–2009
Expanded syringe exchange programs and reduced HIV infection among new injection drug users in Tallinn, Estonia
In Estonia, a transitional country, a decrease in the HIV prevalence among new injectors and in the numbers of people initiating injection drug use coincided with implementation of large-scale SEPs. Further reductions in HIV transmission among IDUs are still required. Provision of 70 or more syringes per IDU per year may be needed before significant reductions in HIV incidence occur
Risk for Heterosexual HIV Transmission Among Non-Injecting Female Partners of Injection Drug Users in Estonia
HIV infection and risk behaviour of primary fentanyl and amphetamine injectors in Tallinn, Estonia
Evaluating Recruitment among Female Sex Workers and Injecting Drug Users at Risk for HIV Using Respondent-driven Sampling in Estonia
Knowledge of HIV serostatus and risk behaviour among injecting drug users in Estonia
We used the findings from two, cross-sectional studies of HIV serostatus and risk behaviours to assess the effects of knowledge of HIV serostatus and risk behaviours (relating to sex and injection drug use) among injecting drug users (IDUs). Respondent-driven sampling was used simultaneously at two sites in Estonia (the capital Tallinn, and the second-largest city of Ida-Virumaa County, Kohtla-Jarve). The research tool was an interviewer-administ…
Should Pharmacists have a Role in Harm Reduction Services for IDUs? A Qualitative Study in Tallinn, Estonia
Estimating injection drug use prevalence using state wide administrative data sources
Estonia has rapidly expanding injection drug use (IDU) driven HIV/AIDS epidemic with the highest reported incidence rate and prevalence (1.3%) of HIV in the European region. To evaluate the feasibility of IDU prevalence estimations based on routine nationwide data sources using capture-recapture methodology, and provide estimates of IDU prevalence. IDUs were identified from the Police, Health insurance fund, State HIV reference laboratory data so…
