Description
"Findings from the SHERPA Project: A Study of Active IDUs Residing in the Suburban Towns of Southwestern Connecticut" The SHERPA project is a multiple-methods, longitudinal study of active injection drug users residing in non-urban areas of southwestern Connecticut. It is, to our knowledge, the largest sample of active injectors residing in suburban locales. Baseline characteristics of the study sample will be described, with particular focus on HIV and hepatitis B and C prevalence, injection-associated risk behaviors, access to healthcare, and knowledge about HIV, hepatitis, and overdose.
