目標:本研究目的主要在於分析影響靜脈注射藥癮者接受「清潔針具交換」及「替代療法」意願及其相關因子,並建議減害措施的可行模式。方法:以分層隨機抽樣方式選取台中監獄、雲林及嘉義戒治所靜脈注射藥癮者樣本共計1206人,進行橫斷式問卷調查。結果:雖然有超過七成五(77.2%)的高危險群受訪者認為參加針具交換計畫對降低愛滋病感染非常有幫助,然而僅約有四成(43.1%)填答者參加針具交換的意願較堅定;另約有九成(93%)填答者願意參加替代療法。結論:實施減害措施需先透過瞭解靜脈注射藥癮者解癮管道、並增強藥癮同儕及配偶因素來提高其參加的意願,本研究建議行政院衛生署應著重在降低購買針具的障礙而非交換,同時推動藥癮者同儕教育並應降低自費者參加替代療法之障礙。
