 AB    The present study examined the relationship between depressive symptoms
       and frequency of drug use in 91 low income nontreatment intravenous drug
       users in Baltimore, Maryland. The majority of participants were
       injecting both heroin and cocaine. Scores on the depression scale at
       both waves were correlated with frequency of injection at wave two.
       Depression at wave one had a higher correlation with frequency of
       injections at wave two than did concurrent depression at wave two. Even
       after accounting for several confounds between depression and frequency
       of injection, depression at wave one remained highly correlated with
       frequency of injection at wave two.
