In a sample of over 2,500 medical charts from inmates arrested in 1986 in New York City, the rate of intravenous drug use peaked at 43% in male inmates aged 36 to 40. Younger inmates had progressively lower rates of intravenous drug use. Inmates detained for longer time periods and female inmates had particularly high rates of intravenous drug use. Rates of intravenous drug use were 30% among Hispanic, 26% among White, and 16% among Black inmates. Although overall rates of drug use among all male inmates in 1986 have remained unchanged since 1975, drug use was most prevalent in inmates aged 31 to 40 in 1986, the same criminal "cohort" which in 1975 had the highest rate of drug use. Implications for targeting of AIDS and drug-related counseling among inmates are discussed.
在一份来自1986年纽约市被捕囚犯的2500多份病历样本中，静脉注射吸毒率在36至40岁的男性囚犯中达到峰值，为43%。年龄较小的囚犯静脉注射吸毒率逐渐降低。被拘留时间较长的囚犯和女性囚犯的静脉注射吸毒率尤其高。西班牙裔囚犯的静脉注射吸毒率为30%，白人囚犯为26%，黑人囚犯为16%。尽管自1975年以来，1986年所有男性囚犯的总体吸毒率保持不变，但1986年吸毒最普遍的是31至40岁的囚犯，这与1975年吸毒率最高的同一犯罪“群体”相同。文中讨论了针对囚犯开展艾滋病和毒品相关咨询的意义。
