Levels of intravenous drug misuse among clients prescribed oral dexamphetamine or oral methadone: a comparison
Abstract
There has been a considerable increase in the number of intravenous amphetamine misusers during the last decade, and the development of effective treatment strategies for this high-risk group has become critical. The use of substitute prescribing is one option, but reservations have been expressed as to its demonstrated effectiveness in reducing injecting practice and associated risks. This study compares the effect of substitute prescribing on the injecting practices of two groups of intravenous drug misusers: 120 primary opiate misusers, prescribed oral methadone; and 60 primary amphetamine misusers, prescribed dexamphetamine elixir. The levels of intravenous drug misuse at time of discharge for the two groups was similar, with 67% of the opiate misusers and 70% of the amphetamine misusers having stopped injecting.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
