- Title
The filter of choice: filtration method preference among injecting drug users.
- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the factors affecting the preference injection drug use syringe filters (IDUSF) among injection drug users in France. The study found that factors influencing filter preference were frequency of IDU, the type of drugs injected, perceived health benefits, drug retention, and technical and practical issues related to IDUSF. It concludes that use of more efficient filters can be made by increasing information, availability, and demonstrations.
