关于使用药物的人（PWUD）对COVID-19相关问题以及由于COVID-19导致的药物市场变化的了解甚少。因此，我们进行了一项调查，以探讨这些问题。在一项横断面研究中，我们于2020年5月/6月访问了来自挪威三个城市的226名PWUD。参与者完成了一个采访管理的问卷调查。三个独立的多元二元逻辑回归模型估计的结果（否/是）：1。熟悉COVID-19症状，2.了解为PWUD量身定制的COVID-19服务，以及3.愿意接受COVID-19检测。平均年龄为44.1岁，73%为男性。54%是注射者，海洛因/其他类阿片（35.8%）和可卡因/苯丙胺（25.2%）是最常见的主要毒品。总体而言，54.9%的患者接受阿片类药物维持治疗（OMT）。大多数人（65.9%）表示他们知道COVID-19的症状。几乎所有参与者（91.2%）都报告说，如果出现相关症状，他们会接受COVID-19检测。大多数（63.7%）不知道PWUD可获得的COVID-19服务。OMT患者更有可能熟悉COVID-19症状（aOR = 3.4，95% CI 1.7; 6.8），并了解COVID-19服务（aOR = 2.7，95% CI 1.1; 6.3）。总体而言，35.4%的人报告药物供应减少，主要是镇静剂，而61.5%的人报告药物价格上涨，主要是大麻。药物治疗可能在COVID-19预防中发挥重要作用，因为OMT患者更有可能意识到症状和服务的可用性。
Little is known regarding what people who use drugs (PWUD) know about COVID-19 related issues and changes in the drug market due to COVID-19. We therefore conducted a survey to explore these issues. In a cross-sectional study, we interviewed 226 PWUD from three Norwegian cities in May/June 2020. Participants completed an interview-administrated questionnaire. Three separate multiple binary logistic regression models were estimated with the outcomes (no/yes): 1. Familiarity with COVID-19 symptoms, 2. Awareness of COVID-19 services tailored towards PWUD and, 3. Willingness to take a COVID-19 test. The mean age was 44.1 years and 73 % were males. Fifty-four percent were injectors, and heroin/other opioids (35.8 %) and cocaine/amphetamine (25.2 %) were the most common main drugs used. Overall, 54.9 % were in opioid maintenance treatment (OMT). The majority (65.9 %) stated they knew the COVID-19 symptoms. Almost all the participants (91.2 %) reported they would take a COVID-19 test if experiencing relevant symptoms. The majority (63.7 %) were not aware of COVID-19 services available to PWUD. OMT patients were more likely to be familiar with COVID-19 symptoms (aOR = 3.4, 95 % CI 1.7; 6.8), and to be aware of COVID-19 services (aOR = 2.7, 95 % CI 1.1; 6.3). Overall, 35.4 % reported reduced drug availability, mainly for tranquilizers, while 61.5 % reported increased drug prices, mainly for cannabis. Drug treatment may play an important role in COVID-19 prevention, as those in OMT were more likely to be aware of symptoms and of availability of services.
