Abstract:Background
Injection of drug abuse could result in infectious disease, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) possibly are associated with infectious disease. However, there is a paucity of literature on a direct or indirect relationship between ACEs, injection of drug use and infectious disease. We thus identified the pathway of influence of ACEs in adulthoods and injection of drug use on infectious disease by structural equation models (SEM).
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted by respondent dr… Show more
