Risk and Protective Factors for Rural Methamphetamine Dependence

Completed

Conditions studied: Methamphetamine Dependence

In brief

The primary goal of this study is to identify factors which may put a person that has used methamphetamine at greater risk for mental and physical health problems and social problems and factors that may lessen the risk for these problems. This study will also compare methamphetamine use between Latino and non-Latino persons and those that live in a rural area or urban area. The investigators hypothesis is that rural persons with methamphetamine dependence will have greater socio-demographic, bio-psychosocial and behavioral risk factors than their urban counterparts.
