AB This study compares the impact of a standard and an enhanced
intervention on the needle-use behaviors reported by injection-drug
users (IDUs) living in a low-seroprevalence area in the Midwest. Data on
the drug- and needle-use practices of 381 IDUs completing a standard (n
= 232) or an enhanced (n = 149) intervention who were followed-up five
to nine months after a baseline interview were analyzed using bivariate
and multivariate techniques. The results indicate that IDUs who
participated in the enhanced intervention reported safer needle
practices than standard intervention IDUs at follow-up. In addition,
less frequent injectors were much more likely to adopt safer needle-use
practices than were daily drug injectors, regardless of intervention
track. The results suggest that more intensive interventions have
advantages over minimalist efforts--in specific contexts. This finding
has important implications for the HIV needle risk-reduction efforts
targeting IDUs.
