China (2006): HIV/AIDS TRaC Study among Injecting Drug Users in Kaiyuan City, Kunming City, and Yingjiang Town, Yunnan Province. Second Round.

Tracking surveys serve as tools to inform programming by routinely collecting data from a cross-section of populations at risk for HIV/AIDS and other adverse health outcomes. PSI/China has provided programs for injecting drug users (IDUs) including peer education, drop-in-centers, and other activities based on a previous PSI survey among IDUs in 2004. In order to monitor the progress of the programs and to improve them in the next few years, this survey among IDUs aims to: 1) gain an understanding of knowledge, attitudes and risk behavior regarding HIV/AIDS, sexual practices and needle/syringe (N/S) sharing among IDUs; 2) identify factors to increase IDUs opportunity, ability and motivation (OAM) to adopt risk reducing behavior, namely decrease N/S sharing and increase consistent condom use; 3) monitor changes in behavior over time, and monitor IDUs exposure to PSIs intervention programs; 4) evaluate the programs provided by PSI/China for IDUs. Probability proportional to size sampling method was used to collect data among 547 IDUs in Kaiyuan, Yingjiang and Kunming compulsory detox centers. The study questionnaire collected data on IDUs opportunity, ability and motivation (OAM) for consistent condom use with sexual partners and N/S sharing.
