title: Attitudes to drug users according to age of staff.
abstract: The attitudes of professionals working with intravenous drug users, and their perceptions of service delivery, are likely to be affected by age. Younger professionals tend to be more positive in their attitudes towards intravenous drug users. Older professionals tend to be less concerned about the risks from HIV infection than younger ones. More research is needed into the effects of age group on attitudes.
