People who inject drugs and sex workers endure poorer health and a disproportionate burden of disease than the general population. Improving health in these marginalised populations remains a challenge. To identify demographic, behavioural and clinical factors that predict health outcomes we will undertake a retrospective record linkage study in a cohort of 40000 primary care clinic attendees from a socially disadvantaged urban population with high prevalence of injecting drug use and sex work.

与一般人群相比，注射吸毒者和性工作者的健康状况较差，疾病负担过重。改善这些边缘化人群的健康状况仍然是一项挑战。为了确定预测健康结果的人口学、行为和临床因素，我们将对来自注射吸毒和性工作高发的社会弱势城市人口的40,000名初级保健诊所参与者进行回顾性记录联系研究。
