From Sept 2005 to May 2012, 1015 street-involved youth were enrolled into the At-Risk Youth Study (ARYS), a prospective cohort of youth aged 14- 26 who use illicit drugs in Vancouver Canada. Data was collected through semiannual interviewer administered questionnaires. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with being unable to access addiction treatment. The enclosed manuscript notes the implications and limitations of this study, as well as possible directions for future research. This study was funded by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Canadian Institutes of Health (CIHR).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
