| Abstract | Although evidence is accumulating that needle exchange programs can lower the risk of parenterally transmitted infections, their effectiveness is compromised if they suffer from low client participation. A legal needle exchange in New Haven, CT, has been studied since its inception in November 1990, employing a tracking system to analyze the characteristics of clients participating during the first 20 months of the program. Thirty-four percent of injection drug users who enrolled in the program during the study period made only a single visit. Younger clients were more likely to be in the single visit group. For clients who visited the program more than once, the retention fraction, defined as the ratio of total client-specific observed person-days to full enrollment person-days during the 20-month study period was 67.7 percent, with a median duration of participation of 333 days. Further analysis of the client characteristics, based on surveys completed upon enrollment in the program, revealed several predictors of continuing participation. Most significant were the observations that (a) those injecting for 10 years or longer participated longer than clients who injected drugs for less than 10 years and (b) nonwhite injectors participated longer than whites. The longest duration of participation (median = 501 days) was among nonwhite injectors with 10 years or more of injecting history. There have been limited data on client participation in needle exchange programs. This gap in information must be overcome to allow thorough evaluations of such programs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
