We therefore sought to examine midazolam injection among a community-recruited sample of Thai IDU. Methods We examined the prevalence and correlates of midazolam injection among 252 IDU participating in the Mitsampan Community Research Project Bangkok using multivariate logistic regression. We also examined the use of midazolam in combination with other drugs. Results 252 IDU participated in this study including 66 women. In total 170 participants reported ever having injected midazolam and 144 reported daily midazolam injection in the past six months. In multivariate analyses a history of midazolam injection was independently associated with using drugs in combination adjusted odds ratio AOR 95 confidence interval CI younger age AOR 95 CI having a history of methadone treatment AOR 95 CI and binge drug use AOR 95 CI . The drugs most commonly used in combination with midazolam were heroin and yaba methamphetamine . Conclusion We observed a high rate of midazolam injection among Thai IDU. Midazolam injection was strongly associated with polysubstance use and binge drug use and was most commonly used in combination with both opiates and methamphetamines. Our findings suggest that midazolam injection has become increasingly common within Thailand. Evidence-based approaches for reducing harms associated with midazolam injection are needed. .
