Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is B because reducing contact with infected needles is a crucial step in preventing the spread of diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis C among IV drug users. Methadone programs can be an effective tool in treating opioid addiction, so choice A is incorrect. Individual psychotherapy interventions can be helpful for some IV drug users, but may not be the most effective approach for all, making choice C too narrow. Needle exchange programs have been shown to be effective in reducing the transmission of diseases among IV drug users, making choice D incorrect. Targeting individual drug users is important, but may not be enough to address the systemic issues surrounding IV drug use, making choice E too narrow.
