This study sought to understand the patterns, methods of administration and contexts for methamphetamine use (MA) in a sample of racially diverse men who have sex with men (MSM). Inclusion into the study required participants to be classified as clinically dependent on MA, but indicate no other illicit substance use. Use was assessed using Timeline Followback for a period of 30 days. Of the 900 assessed days, MA use was reported on 217. Participants reported an average of seven days of use, with the majority of use occurring on the weekend. The weekend usage pattern suggests an incorporation of drugs into the lives of gay men as a means of socialization and recreation.
本研究旨在了解不同种族男男性行为者（MSM）样本中甲基苯丙胺（MA）的使用模式、给药方法及背景。纳入本研究要求参与者被归类为临床依赖MA，但无其他非法药物使用情况。使用时间线追溯法对30天的使用情况进行评估。在900个评估日中，有217天报告有MA使用情况。参与者报告平均使用天数为7天，且大部分使用发生在周末。周末使用模式表明，药物已融入男同性恋者的生活，成为社交和娱乐的一种方式。
