From 2004-2006, 439 injection drug users were recruited in Denver, Colorado, to participate in a study of drug use and HCV risk. Over two-thirds were male, more than half were white, and 28% were methamphetamine injectors. The Risk Behavior Assessment, which assesses demographics, drug use, and HIV risk behaviors, was used. Variables were assessed for association with methamphetamine (MA) injection. A logistic regression model was built using forward stepwise method to determine independent associations between variables of interest and MA injection. The study's limitations are noted, and implications are described.
2004年至2006年期间,在科罗拉多州丹佛市招募了439名注射吸毒者,以参与一项关于吸毒与丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)风险的研究。超过三分之二为男性,一半以上是白人,28%是甲基苯丙胺注射者。使用了风险行为评估,该评估用于评估人口统计学、吸毒情况和艾滋病毒风险行为。评估变量与甲基苯丙胺(MA)注射之间的关联。使用向前逐步法建立逻辑回归模型,以确定感兴趣变量与MA注射之间的独立关联。文中指出了该研究的局限性,并描述了其意义。
