摘要
We used repeated cross-sectional data from intercept surveys conducted annually at lesbian, gay, and bisexual community events to investigate trends in club drug use in sexual minority men (N=6489) in New York City from 2002 to 2007. Recent use of ecstasy, ketamine, and gamma-hydroxybutyrate decreased significantly. Crystal methamphetamine use initially increased but then decreased. Use of cocaine and amyl nitrates remained consistent. A greater number of HIVpositive (vs HIV-negative) men reported recent drug use across years. Downward trends in drug use in this population mirror trends in other groups. (Am J Public Health. 2010;100:1892-1895. doi: 10.2105/AJPH.2009.175232)
