- Abstract
"Late 2003, the Asian Harm Reduction Network (AHRN) embarked upon a multi-site research to gain insight in drug careers for pathways of young people and the impact that environmental factors have on these careers as well as on drug use related problems. In addition, data was collected with regards to knowledge, attitudes and practices, related to drug use and HIV/AIDS. The research was simultaneously conducted in New Delhi (India), Greater-Jakarta, (Indonesia), Tehran (Iran), and Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Rawalpindi and Karachi (Pakistan). This report is the unabridged synthesis of four site research reports that were written by the site research managers, located in New Delhi, Jakarta, Tehran and Islamabad."
