Changing Needle Practices in Community Outreach and Methadone Treatment.

Wechsberg, Wendee M.; And Others

Evaluation and Program Planning, v17 n4 p371-79 Oct-Dec 1994

This pretest/posttest study used two samples of injecting drug users (184 from street outreach and 103 from a methadone program) to assess drug use and human immunodeficiency virus risk practices. The improvement in risk behaviors at posttest suggests that intervention programs were agents of change. (SLD)
