(CNSNews.com) – The National Institutes of Health has awarded$42,676 in taxpayer funding to Yale University to study injection drug users who have been incarcerated in Russia.
“Injection drug users who have been incarcerated in Russia face a high-risk environment upon release. The proposal seeks to determine the factors associated with relapse to opioids, overdose, and risky injection behaviors that could facilitate HIV transmission and other blood-borne pathogens among Russian IDUs after release from incarceration,” the grant said.
According to the grant, the HIV epidemic in Russia is “a growing public health problem.”

Idk. I look around here and think studies would be more useful. Why spend our tax money to help Russia's dope problem?
How many more "studies" need to be done at this point?
Would have made more sense to assign a class to read and assess the many thousands of studies already done on the subject, and aggregate and cross-correlate the data.
LOL , our government under Obama , the laughing stock of the world.
Why and who cares??
