This study analyzed factors associated with utilization of needle exchange programs (NEPs) by young injection drug users (IDUs). Between 1997-1999, 700 IDUs 18-30 years of age were surveyed in Chicago. The majority of study participants (65%) had not used an NEP in the 6 months preceding baseline. Frequent NEP users were least likely to share needles (odds ratio [OR] = 0.32; 95% CI = 0.19-0.54) or other injection equipment (OR = 0.51; CI = 0.30-0.85), or to reuse their own needles (OR = 0.25, CI = 0.13-0.45), and were most likely to use condoms with steady sex partners (OR = 2.95; CI = 1.56-5.56). This study found that while frequent NEP use was associated with less risk behavior, young IDUs used NEPs infrequently or not at all.
本研究分析了年轻注射吸毒者使用针头交换项目（NEPs）的相关因素。1997年至1999年期间，在芝加哥对700名年龄在18至30岁的注射吸毒者进行了调查。大多数研究参与者（65%）在基线前6个月未使用过针头交换项目。频繁使用针头交换项目的人最不可能共用针头（优势比[OR]=0.32；95%置信区间[CI]=0.19 - 0.54）或其他注射设备（OR = 0.51；CI = 0.30 - 0.85），也最不可能重复使用自己的针头（OR = 0.25，CI = 0.13 - 0.45），并且最有可能与固定性伴侣使用避孕套（OR = 2.95；CI = 1.56 - 5.56）。本研究发现，虽然频繁使用针头交换项目与较低的风险行为相关，但年轻注射吸毒者很少或根本不使用针头交换项目。
