This study examines entry into drug treatment among 491 street-recruited injection drug users in Denver, Colorado. The primary outcome was treatment entry within 6 months. Univariate tests were run using chi-square t-test analyses. Significant variables were included in a multiple logistic regression. Results showed that having more outreach contacts, not being homeless, having fewer problems with alcohol but more problems with drugs, and the contemplation or determination stage of change were associated with entering treatment. The identification of predictors of treatment entry may be useful for treatment centers in engaging certain populations of drug users. Behavioral interventions are an important tool in recruiting drug injectors into treatment.
本研究调查了在科罗拉多州丹佛市通过街头招募的491名注射吸毒者进入药物治疗的情况。主要结果是在6个月内进入治疗。使用卡方t检验分析进行单变量测试。显著变量被纳入多元逻辑回归。结果显示，有更多的外展接触、非无家可归、酒精问题较少但毒品问题较多以及处于改变的沉思或决心阶段与进入治疗有关。确定治疗进入的预测因素可能有助于治疗中心吸引特定人群的吸毒者。行为干预是招募注射吸毒者接受治疗的重要工具。
