Information, including demographics, sexual behavior, and RUSH use, was obtained through structured interviewer questionnaires. The study participants were recruited from Tianjin, China between April and August 2012.
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to understand the knowledge, attitude, and status of nitrite inhalant use among Chinese MSM. These drugs, also called RUSH in China, have become attractive among Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM) in the past few years. Nitrite inhalants have become popular as recreational drugs among the homosexual population in some developed countries since the 1980s.
