This study examines the attitude of 256 men whose wives had been surveyed in relation to their workforce experience. Husbands with working wives and non‐working wives were surveyed, and their different responses analysed. Variables which could affect responses, such as ages of children, full‐time or part‐time work, and impact on husbands' own jobs were all considered. In this survey, it was found that neither the level of education of the husband, nor his age were statistically significant indicators of his attitude towards working women.

This paper describes characteristics of clients registered in the first 12 months of the Sydney Medically Supervised Injecting Centre's (MSIC) operation, as well as predictors of frequent attendance. The study is based on information collected from clients at their initial registration and subsequent service utilization. Most of the 2,719 clients were male (71%), almost half had previously experienced at least one nonfatal heroin overdose, and one quarter had accessed formal drug treatment in the previous 12 months. Characteristics associated with frequent attendance at the MSIC were reporting previous attendance at the local primary health service for injection drug users (IDU), injecting drugs other than amphetamine, reporting sex work, injecting at least daily, and injecting in a public place in the month before registration.
