Methamphetamine use and associated factors among people who inject drugs in Iran 2020
The frequency of methamphetamine use among PWID is considerable in Iran. Our findings underscore the importance of implementing tailored comprehensive harm reduction services for this sub-population of PWID. They also emphasize the urgent need for evidence-based interventions to address the harms associated with the increasing co-use of opioids and methamphetamine among PWID.
