[Drugs, Poverty and HIV: results regarding a provincial needle exchange program in Point de Repères, Quebec].

In this study (n = 200), the characteristics of IDUs participating in a provincial needle exchange program (NEP) for more than 2 years (> 2 years) were compared with those of IDUs having participated for less than 2 years (< or = 2 years). Compared to the < or = 2 years, the > 2 years were more often recipients of welfare (RC: 4.7), especially among the HIV-positive (RC: 62.0); tried quitting drugs more frequently (RC: 3.8); more often recommended the NEP to other IDUs (RC: 3.1); and more often requested being given shelter and longer opening hours (RC: 3.6). These results highlight the urgent need to improve and develop transitional and support services for the > 2 years. Preventive interventions that would reach out to the < or = 2 years where they live should also be implemented in close collaboration with organizations involved in mental health and drug use prevention.

Indicators for a sustainable society.

This study presents a set of 20 indicators that could be suitable for monitoring the progress of our society on the path to sustainable development. Based on the concept of a sustainable society, which explicitly links the four aspects of health, social equity, economy and environment, these indicators are meant for large administrative areas, and use mostly already available data. The approach is global and symbolic in order to be able to facilitate the integration of the four aspects in the public's mind. It is information for action that could be used in a systematic way for presentation to the general public and to decision-makers, in the manner of everyday economic or weather indicators.
