Abstract
This thesis investigates determinants of factors associated with retention of injecting drug users on the South Australian methadone program over the decade 1981 to mid 1991. Truncated multivariate survival models are proposed for the analysis of data from the program, and the theory of graphical chain models applied to the data. A detailed analysis is presented which gives further insight into the nature of the relationships that exist amongst these data. This provides an application of graphical chain models to survival data.
