来自英格兰的定性数据说明了应对战略如何构成非法药物注射者日常生活方式的一个组成部分，对社会网络及其基础规则的民族志调查对于制定适当的社区干预措施至关重要，这种网络的特点是职能和互惠关系，同伴教育和健康宣传是在非正式基础上进行的，应鼓励发挥这些作用的关键人物作为干预措施的一部分，将吸毒者及其日常五人作为核心，网络的规则和社交礼仪并不总是对公共卫生议程积极，正如加勒比非洲人社区共用注射用具和注射禁忌所表明的那样，人种学研究可以确定干预的重点，需要利用所有可用的资源，包括吸毒者的非正式保护战略和针对特定问题和针对特定群体的外联干预，促进将危害降至最低。
Qualitative data from England illustrate the way coping strategies form an integral part of the everyday lifestyles of injectors of illicit drugs, Ethnographic investigation of social networks and the rules which underpin them is crucial in devising appropriate community-based interventions, Such networks are characterized by functional and reciprocal relations, Peer education and health advocacy takes place on an informal basis, Key figures who adopt these roles should be encouraged to act as Indigenous Advocates as part of interventions which place drug users and their everyday fives at the core, Rules and social etiquettes of networks are not always positive for the public health agenda, as illustrated by the sharing of injecting paraphernalia and the injecting taboo among the Afro-Caribbean community, Ethnographic study can pinpoint foci for intervention, Harm minimization needs to be promoted using all the resources available, including the informal protective strategies of drug users and outreach interventions aimed at specific issues and targeted toward particular groups.
