Community-informed priorities for cannabis harm reduction research among LGBTQIA+ youth
LGBTQIA+ youth consistently report higher rates of cannabis use and cannabis-related problems compared with their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts. These disparities underscore the necessity for cannabis use education and harm reduction strategies that are responsive to the specific social contexts, lived experiences and needs of LGBTQIA+ youth. Given the paucity of research in this area, we conducted a World Café consultation to identify …

Understanding the Needs and Experiences With Health Services of Gay and Bisexual Men (GBM) Who Engaged in Chemsex During the First Year of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Quebec, Canada
Gay and bisexual men (GBM) engaging in chemsex can face various health and well-being-related challenges, the extent of which remains unknown given the limited research in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper examines the pandemic impacts on the health needs of GBM who engaged in chemsex and their experiences with related services. We applied interpretive description to produce knowledge with direct implications for improving practice…
Factors influencing the acceptability of hepatitis C screening among people with experience of incarceration in Quebec, Canada
The TDF was useful in identifying factors associated with the acceptability of HCV screening among PWEI. Future interventions should seek to leverage peer networks, integrate point-of-care HCV testing, and provide whole-of-sector education and wrap-around services to better support PWEI and contribute to broader efforts to eliminate HCV among incarcerated populations

In North America, LGBTQ+ youth have high rates of cannabis use and face mental health issues. We conducted a photovoice study to describe the perspectives, needs, and motivations of forty-six LGBTQ+ youth who use cannabis as they access mental healthcare services. Participants' photographs were discussed in individual semi-structured interviews conducted by peer researchers. Following a thematic analysis of the interview transcripts, we first fou…
Perceived patient navigator services and characteristics to address barriers to linkage to hepatitis C care among people released from provincial prison in Quebec, Canada
Interventions that seek to improve linkage to HCV care for people following release from prison should address many levels (individual, interpersonal, and policy) of the SEM. While people experience several competing priorities post-release, having an empathetic and consistent patient navigator, regardless of their lived experiences of HCV and/or incarceration, may improve linkage to HCV care post-release
Interventions to Improve Uptake of Direct-Acting Antivirals for Hepatitis C Virus in Priority Populations
Patient and provider perceived barriers and facilitators to direct acting antiviral hepatitis C treatment among priority populations in high income countries
BACKGROUND: Direct acting antivirals (DAAs) have increased cure rates for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; however, there are several obstacles to the uptake of DAAs in populations where substance use contributes to HCV risk. This synthesis aimed to identify the patient and provider perceived barriers and facilitators to DAA treatment initiation in key patient subgroups-people who inject drugs (PWID), men who have sex with men (MSM), and Indige…
