This observational study investigates the prevalence and risk factors of intimate partner violence among people who inject drugs (PWID) in Sweden, particularly focusing on the experiences of women who inject drugs (WWID). The study aims to gather data from participants enrolled in needle and syringe programs (NSP) to understand the health risks associated with injection drug use and the impact of gender-based violence. By analyzing the experiences of PWID, the study seeks to highlight the intersection of drug use and intimate partner violence, providing insights into the challenges faced by this vulnerable population.
