American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research, v9 n1 p17-32 2000
Study and 6-month followup of 3,622 drug users in Tucson, Flagstaff, and Anchorage found that American Indian and Alaska Native drug users were younger, less educated, and less likely to be employed than non-Native subjects. Individuals employed at intake or followup had lower levels of HIV risk factors: injection drug use and needle sharing. (Contains 38 references.) (SV)
