摘要

While the relationship between individual-level factors and drug use orassociated risk behaviors has been investigated in-depth, comparatively little isknown about the influence of contextual determinants. Geographic information sys-tems (GIS) enable users to simultaneously display a number of environmental datalayers and use spatial statistics to explore the relationships between contextual andindividual-level variables. This makes GIS a potentially powerful tool in substanceuse research. One area where geography has a striking influence on health is at theUS/Mexico border, where the confluence of drug trafficking routes, migration, andincome inequalities form unique environmental influences on drug use scenes. Inthis chapter, we describe some of the spatial and environmental issues, such as mi-gration, neighborhood characteristics, and proximity to services, which may affectdrug use behaviors and risks. A number of practical methods to measure geograph-ical indicators are also described, focusing on a case study of injection drug use inthe Mexico/US border city of Tijuana, Mexico.
