Two-group comparisons were conducted to quantify differences in individual characteristics, causes of drug use, and HIV\/STI risky sexual behavior between synthetic drug and heroin users; logistic regressions were employed to assess the net effect of synthetic drug use on risky sexual behavior. Results revealed that causes of synthetic drug use differed from those of heroin use; a combination of the knowledge gap concerning the harmful impact of synthetic drugs and the lesser punishment for their use appeared a main reason behind the shift from heroin to synthetic drugs; and synthetic drug use was a significant and powerful risk factor for HIV\/STI risky sexual behavior. Educational and behavioral interventions are urgently needed to prevent the initiation of synthetic drug use among users to reduce their HIV\/STI risky sexual behavior. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1521\/aeap.2019.31.1.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,11]],"date-time":"2019-02-11T17:24:55Z","timestamp":1549905895000},"page":"1-16","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Causes and Consequences of Drug Abuse: A Comparison Between Synthetic Drug and Heroin Users in Urban China"],"prefix":"10.1521","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Xiushi","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guomei","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, Shanghai, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"377","reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Deviant behavior: A social learning approach","author":"Akers R.
