Difficult behaviour in drug-misusing and non-drug-misusing patients in general practice--a comparison

J Thompson. Br J Gen Pract. 2001 May.

Abstract

Some GPs may be unwilling to take on the management of drug misusers because of the risk of difficult behaviour. However, this study found that in a practice running a drug misuse treatment programme there was a relatively small difference in the rates of difficult behaviour from drug misusers and general patients.
