Uggesting that these factors may confound the association between sexual violence perpetrated by police and risk behaviours. The Poisson regression model used a Pearson’s chi-square correction to account for overdispersion in the data. Spearman’s correlations were used to assess correlations between independent variables and covariates, and no pair of variables included in regression models wasstrongly Chloroquine (diphosphate) msds correlated (r !0.40). We performed all analyses using SAS, applying a two-sided significance level of 0.05. Qualitative We used Nvivo 10 software [14] to code and analyze qualitative data using a content analysis approach based on theoretical memos [15]. Two coders (FL and KL) conducted multiple AZD-8835 manufacturer coding cycles based on consensus to formulate units of organization and analytic codes. We used constant comparative coding such as systematic and far-out comparisons and focused coding to identify recurrent themes and patterns [16].ResultsSurvey The demographics and clinical characteristics shown in Table 1 suggest that a number of risk factors and behaviours are common in this cohort of Russian HIV-positive women who inject drugs. Of note, while a higher proportion of those reporting sexual violence from police also reported involvement in transactional sex, most affected women in this cohort were not sex workers. We documented that almost a quarter (24.1 ; 95 CI, 18.6 , 29.7 ) of all women reported having been forced to have sex with a police officer (Table 2). The proportions reporting punitive policing practices appeared higher among victims of sexual violence than for those who were not victims. Regression analyses did not show significant associations between the main independent variable reported sexual violence from police and the outcomes of current IDU, needle sharing or lifetime overdose. However, women who reported having been forced to have sex with a police officer reported more frequent drug injections (Table 3).Table 1.
