IntroductionGiven structural barriers, access to services is key for preventing drug‐related harms and managing chronic disease among people who inject drugs (PWID). The Patient Activation Measure (PAM), a validated scale to assess self‐efficacy in navigating one's own health care, was operationalised to improve service utilisation and outcomes but has not been assessed among PWID. We characterised PAM and its association with healthcare and harm reduction utilisation among PWID in the AIDS Linked to IntraVenous Experience cohort in Baltimore.MethodsFrom 2019 to 2020, participants completed surveys on PAM, service utilisation and drug use. We used log‐binomial regression to identify correlates of “Lower” PAM and modelled the association between lower PAM and service utilisation, stratified by recent IDU.ResultsParticipants (n = 351) were primarily male (67%), Black (85%) and 24% reported recent IDU. Lower PAM was significantly more common in those reporting IDU (aPR 1.45; 95% CI 1.03, 2.04), heavy alcohol (aPR 1.77; 95% CI 1.24, 2.51) and marijuana (aPR: 1.70; 95% CI 1.23, 2.36) but less common among women (aPR 0.57; 95% CI 0.38, 0.84) and those living with HIV (APR 0.52; 95% CI 0.35, 0.78). In modelling service utilisation, lower PAM was associated with a lower prevalence of methadone utilisation (aPR 0.27; 95% CI 0.09, 0.84) among those reporting IDU, but a higher prevalence of methadone utilisation (aPR 2.72; 95% CI 1.46, 5.08) among those not reporting IDU, after controlling for correlates of PAM.Discussion and ConclusionPAM‐tailored interventions targeting methadone utilisation warrant consideration but should account for socio‐structural barriers to utilisation and correlates of PAM among PWID.
