Investigating patterns of use and risk behaviour among the emerging population of people who inject performance and image-enhancing drugs

为新出现的和不断增长的注射绩效和形象增强药物(PIED)的人群提供卫生服务正在产生新的和意想不到的挑战，因为与注射精神活性药物相关的注射做法、生理效应和与健康相关的危害非常不同。这项提案将调查PIED的使用模式，并评估这一人群中与注射相关的风险行为。

The provision of health services to an emerging and growing population of people who inject performance and image enhancing drugs (PIEDs) is producing new and unexpected challenges because the injecting practices, physiological effects and health-related harms associated with PIEDs injection are very different to those associated with injection of psychoactive drugs. This proposal will investigate patterns of PIEDs use and assess injection-related risk behaviour among this population.
