In 2013, PSI conducted a baseline survey among PWID in three provinces (Hanoi, HCMC, Thai Nguyen) to assess knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to LDSS use, needle sharing and other behaviors relevant to reducing risk of both Hepatitis C (HCV) and HIV transmission. The 2016 PWID Behavioral Survey was designed to measure changes in key indicators since the 2013 baseline. We conducted a collect data from the PWID, and in this study, and drug takers were recruited based on the respondent &#8211; driven sampling (RDS) method. RDS is a chain-referral method commonly used to recruit hard-to-reach populations, including people who inject drugs. RDS relies on the assumption that, given sufficiently long referral chain, the sample composition becomes stable or reaches \u201cequilibrium,\u201d which results in a sample that has the characteristics of a probability sample. 1058 PWID attended to face-to-face interviews in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Thai Nguyen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10588,"template":"","consulting_field":[60],"sponsors":[2207],"class_list":["post-10744","counsel","type-counsel","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","consulting_field-social-issues","sponsors-population-services-international-psi-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/counsel\/10744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/counsel"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/counsel"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"consulting_field","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/consulting_field?post=10744"},{"taxonomy":"sponsors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depocen.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsors?post=10744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
