| مستخلص: |
Because of the illicit nature of drug use, a tremendous amount of mistrust and fear on the part of IDUs often leads to poor interaction with the medical establishment. Prescription of syringes by a physician can serve as a tool for reaching out to a high-risk and often out-of-treatment population of drug users.(n1) It is a way for the health care community to tap into drug-using networks and bring those populations into a medical care system.
