In a cross-sectional multicentre study, we compared the characteristics of heroin chasers and heroin injectors. Subjects were 162 primarily opioid-dependent volunteers for whom either chasing (n = 85) or injecting (n = 77) was the principal route of heroin administration. Each subject was rated by means of the Swiss version of the European Addiction Severity Index. Additionally, subjects completed a questionnaire battery including the Severity of Dependence Scale, the Symptom Checklist SCL-90-R, a self-constructed peergroup questionnaire and a semantic differential list to assess the connotative meaning of heroin chasers and injectors. The heroin injectors were older and more likely to use one or more other drugs besides heroin than the chasers. They had longer heroin-using careers, a longer duration of detention and a higher prevalence of some type of hepatitis. In conclusion, the differences between chasers and injectors were rather related to a longer history of heroin use than to the route of heroin administration.
在一项横断面多中心研究中，我们比较了海洛因追吸者和海洛因注射者的特征。研究对象为162名主要依赖阿片类药物的志愿者，其中追吸者（n = 85）或注射者（n = 77）为海洛因的主要给药途径。每位受试者均通过欧洲成瘾严重程度指数的瑞士版本进行评分。此外，受试者还完成了一系列问卷，包括依赖严重程度量表、症状清单SCL - 90 - R、一份自行编制的同伴群体问卷以及一份语义差异列表，以评估海洛因追吸者和注射者的内涵意义。海洛因注射者比追吸者年龄更大，除海洛因外更有可能使用一种或多种其他药物。他们有更长的海洛因使用史、更长的拘留时间以及更高的某种肝炎患病率。总之，追吸者和注射者之间的差异更多地与更长的海洛因使用史有关，而非海洛因给药途径。
