This is a cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach in which semi-structured interviews were conducted regarding aspects related to the culture of crack use with 39 crack users between March and August 2016. Participants were recruited using saturation criteria and data were analyzed through content analysis. Respondents discussed the use of “virado” and compared its effects in relation to crack, addressing improvement in interpersonal relationships, libido, and non-compulsive drug use, which can all be understood as harm reduction strategies. On the other hand, equipment sharing for the use of “virado” was identified as a high-risk practice with regards to the transmission of infectious diseases. Knowing about the culture of crack use in different contexts is essential in order to plan and develop health care actions. 2020 artículo científico 1669-2381 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=73162897016 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/731/73162897016/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/731/73162897016/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/731/73162897016/73162897016.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/731/73162897016/movil 10.18294/sc.2020.2528 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=731 Salud Colectiva application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Lanús Salud Colectiva (Argentina) Vol.16 |
