The authors recount the groundbreaking use of social network methods, ethnographic direct-observation techniques, and in-depth interviews in their study of a drug-using community in Brooklyn, New York. They provide a detailed documentary of the lives of community members. They describe drug-use, the affects of poverty and homelessness, the acquisition of money and drugs, and social relationships within the group. Social Networks, Drug Injectors' Lives, and HIV/AIDS shows that social networks and contexts are of crucial importance in understanding and fighting the AIDS epidemic. These findings should revitalize prevention efforts and reshape social policy.AIDS prevention and mental health.AIDS (Disease)TransmissionAIDS (Disease)Social aspectsAIDS (Disease)Risk factorsIntravenous drug abuseHealth aspectsNeedle sharingHealth aspectsHealth behaviorAIDS (Disease)Transmission.AIDS (Disease)Social aspects.AIDS (Disease)Risk factors.Intravenous drug abuseHealth aspects.Needle sharingHealth aspects.Health behavior.362.1/969792Friedman Samuel R.1942-1593184MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817950503321Social networks, drug injectors' lives, and HIV3913194UNINA
