A REVIEW OF WORK WITH INJECTING DRUG USERS IN UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE HIV/AIDS EPIDEMIC   

This collectively written monograph presents the results of research on Ukrainian society's response to the spread of drug abuse, drug dependence and HIV/AIDS among injecting drug users. The authors describe the current drug scene in Ukraine; outline legislative priorities for the state policy on drugs; describe the activities of governmental and non-governmental organizations in the field of drug abuse and HIV/AIDS prevention; and discuss issues surrounding the coordination of intersectoral activities and monitoring and evaluation of HIV/AIDS prevention programmes for IDU. In addition, authors define a set of problems which require adoption at the national level in order to increase the effectiveness of prevention programmes that are implemented.

This work is recommended for decision makers who work on drug abuse, drug dependence and HIV/AIDS prevention in Ukraine; for specialists in governmental and non-governmental organizations who work in this area (drug-addiction specialists, physicians, social workers, law enforcement officers, and lawyers); as well as for coordinators and managers of national and international programmes.
