Abstract (English): Visitors to a popular online drug forum completed an online survey between November 2011 and January 2012, which covered (1) demographic characteristics, (2) substance use (including nonmedical prescription opioid use), (3) forum activity, and (4) harm reduction beliefs. The study sample ( N = 897) primarily included Caucasian males in their twenties from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. The practice of harm reduction was overwhelmingly endorsed by participants. Current nonmedical prescription opioid users reported more activity in forums and past substance abuse treatment. The study's implications and limitations are noted and future research is suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La muestra ( N = 897) incluyo primariamente varones blancos en sus veinte de los Estados Unidos, el Reino Unido, Australia, y Canada. La practica de reducción de daño es apoyada por una inmensa mayoria de los participantes. Usuarios actuales de opiaceos prescritos de forma no medica indicaron mayor actividad en foros y tratamiento pasado por abuso de sustancias. Las implicaciones y limitaciones de este studio son indicadas e investigación futura es sugerida. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (French): Recherche participative auprès d'un forum en ligne sur les drogues : un sondage sur les caractéristiques des utilisateurs, le partage d'informations et les points de vue sur la réduction des risques chez les usagers de drogue Les visiteurs d'un forum en ligne populaire sur les drogues ont rempli un sondage en ligne entre novembre 2011 et janvier 2012, portant sur les thèmes suivants : (1) caractéristiques démographiques, (2) usage de substances (y compris l'usage d'opioïdes ne demandant pas de prescription médicale), (3) activité sur le forum et (4) opinions à l'égard de la réduction des risques chez les usagers de drogue. L'échantillon d'étude ( Ns = 897) comprenait principalement des hommes de race caucasienne âgés d'une vingtaine d'années originaires des États-Unis, du Royaume-Uni, de l'Australie et du Canada. La pratique de réduction des risques chez les usagers de drogue s'est vue soutenue de façon largement majoritaire par les participants. Les utilisateurs actuels d'opioïdes ne demandant pas de prescription médicale ont communiqué une activité plus importante sur les forums et davantage de traitements passés pour toxicomanie. Les implications et les limitations de l'étude sont notées et une recherche future est suggérée. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
