在未根据其注射行为选定的人群中调查注射吸毒情况的研究很少，对可能有不同注射吸毒经历的兴奋剂使用者的关注少于对类阿片使用者的关注，而类阿片使用者的研究更为普遍。目前的研究旨在调查澳大利亚经常使用摇头丸者的定点抽样中开始注射毒品和从注射毒品过渡的情况。参与者是2007年在澳大利亚各地招募的经常使用摇头丸的人，他们接受了一次结构化的访谈，其中包括关于开始注射、停止注射的原因和未来注射的可能性的问题。在有注射吸毒史的人中，第一次注射的年龄与第一次使用摇头丸的年龄相似。大多数人第一次没有注射，五分之二的人当时受到其他药物的影响。五分之二的注射者在过去6个月内没有注射，许多人将此与围绕耻辱的担忧联系起来。药物给药途径显然不是一成不变的，这项研究的结果表明，一些已经停止注射的人可能仍然有未来注射的风险。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
There is a scant amount of research investigating injecting drug use among people not selected on the basis of their injecting behaviour, and less attention has been given to stimulant users who may have a different experience with injecting drug use than opioid users who are more commonly studied. The current study aimed to investigate initiation to, and transition from, injecting drug use among a sentinel sample of regular ecstasy users in Australia. Participants were regular ecstasy users recruited across Australia in 2007 who were administered a structured interview that contained questions regarding initiation to injecting, reasons for injecting cessation, and likelihood of future injecting. Among those with a history of injecting drug use, injecting first occurred at a similar age to that of first ecstasy use. The majority did not inject themselves at the first occasion, and two-fifths were under the influence of other drugs at the time. Two-fifths of injectors had not injected in the past 6 months, with many relating this to concerns surrounding stigma. Route of drug administration is clearly not static, and the findings from this study suggest that some who have ceased injecting may still be at risk for future injecting. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
