Mackesy-Amiti, Mary Ellen Mental Health of Young People Who Inject Drugs Mendeley Data PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS AND HIV RISK BEHAVIORS AMONG YOUNG INJECTION DRUG USERS, NIDA GRANT R01DA020368 The specific aims of this study are: (1) to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and symptoms among young IDU; (2) to examine the sociodemographic and drug use correlates of psychiatric problems; (3) to identify gaps in access to psychiatric care, drug treatment, and HIV/STD prevention services among young IDUs with and without psychiatric problems; (4) to compare the rates of unsafe sex and injection behaviors among young IDUs with and without psychiatric problems; (5) to compare HIV-prevention knowledge, pro-prevention attitudes and norms, and self-efficacy for prevention behavior of young IDUs with and without psychiatric problems; and (6) to test an Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model of HIV risk behavior on a sample of young IDUs. We completed interviews with 570 IDUs ages 18 to 25 years recruited from Chicago neighborhoods through outreach and respondent-driven sampling. Trained clinicians administered the Psychiatric Research Interview for Substance and Mental Disorders (PRISM) to assess psychiatric disorders and symptoms. Respondents also completed an audio-computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI) survey to assess risk behavior, treatment and service history, socio-demographic background, and social-cognitive measures.
