Prevalence and correlates of previous adult imprisonment among Australians who primarily smoke methamphetamine: a cross-sectional study
Social characteristics, patterns of drug use, and juvenile detention history were found to be correlated with imprisonment history. These findings point to the importance of providing targeted services to address characteristics of social disadvantage and drug use behaviours among people who use drugs, including among people who primarily smoke methamphetamine.
