Displacement and the disruption of drug use patterns and risks
They talk about it like it's an overdose crisis when in fact it's basically genocide”
Indigenous Peoples who use illicit drugs (IPWUID) are disproportionately represented among toxic drug poisoning deaths in Canada. These drug-related harms are framed by the historical and ongoing trauma related to settler colonialism and are acutely visible in Vancouver, Canada's Downtown Eastside - a low-income neighbourhood that is an epicenter of the drug poisoning crisis and characterized by entrenched poverty, substance use, violence, and ho…

Women's experiences in injectable opioid agonist treatment programs in Vancouver, Canada
(Re)situating expertise in community-based overdose response
Rethinking urban-rural designations in public health surveillance of the overdose crisis and crafting an agenda for future monitoring
Rurality has served as a key concept in popular and scientific understandings of the US overdose crisis, with White, rural, and low-income areas thought to be most heavily affected. However, we observe that overdose trends have risen nearly uniformly across the urban-rural designations employed in most research, implying that their importance has likely been overstated or incorrectly conceptualized. Nevertheless, urbanicity/rurality does serve as…

Mothers Who Use Drugs
Objectives. To identify key gaps in overdose prevention interventions for mothers who use drugs and the paradoxical impact of institutional practices that can increase overdose risk in the context of punitive drug policies and a toxic drug supply. Methods. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 40 women accessing 2 women-only, low-barrier supervised consumption sites in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, between 2017 and 2019. Ou…

Implementation of Safe Supply Alternatives During Intersecting Covid-19 and Overdose Health Emergencies in British Columbia, Canada, 2021
Objectives. To explore the implementation and effectiveness of the British Columbia, Canada, risk mitigation guidelines among people who use drugs, focusing on how experiences with the illicit drug supply shaped motivations to seek prescription alternatives and the subsequent impacts on overdose vulnerability. Methods. From February to July 2021, we conducted qualitative interviews with 40 people who use drugs in British Columbia, Canada, and who…

Acceptability of a hypothetical preventative HIV vaccine among people who use drugs in Vancouver, Canada
Our findings suggest improvements in care and improved patient-provider relationships would increase the acceptability of a potential HIV vaccine among this population
Motivations to initiate injectable hydromorphone and diacetylmorphine treatment
A Low-Barrier and Comprehensive Community-Based Harm-Reduction Site in Vancouver, Canada
“The Molson” is a low-barrier, peer-staffed, supervised consumption site located in Vancouver, Canada. In addition to overdose response, this site offers drug checking and a colocated injectable hydromorphone treatment program, and it distributes tablet and liquid hydromorphone to service users at high risk of overdose. Our evaluation suggests benefits of this program in creating service continuums and preventing overdose deaths. From September 2…
Navigating social norms of injection initiation assistance during an overdose crisis
Evaluation of a fentanyl drug checking service for clients of a supervised injection facility, Vancouver, Canada

This cross-sectional study evaluates a drug checking intervention for the clients of a supervised injection facility (SIF) in Vancouver. METHODS: Insite is a facility offering supervised injection services in Vancouver's Downtown East Side, a community …

Harnessing the language of overdose prevention to advance evidence-based responses to the opioid crisis
A missed opportunity? Cannabis legalization and reparations in Canada
Supervised injection facilities in Canada
Canada has long contended with harms arising from injection drug use. In response to epidemics of HIV infection and overdose in Vancouver in the mid-1990s, a range of actors advocated for the creation of supervised injection facilities (SIFs), and after several unsanctioned SIFs operated briefly and closed, Canada's first sanctioned SIF opened in 2003. However, while a large body of evidence highlights the successes of this SIF in reducing the he…
‘Because I’ve been extremely careful’
In this article, we examine how injection drug users who do not attribute their HIV infection to engaging in HIV risk behaviours take up and critique discourses of individual responsibility and citizenship relating to HIV risk and HIV prevention. We draw on data from a study in Vancouver, Canada (2006–2009) in which we interviewed individuals living with HIV who had a history of injection drug use. In this paper, we focus on six cases studies of …

Harm reduction services as a point-of-entry to and source of end-of-life care and support for homeless and marginally housed persons who use alcohol and/or illicit drugs
While partnerships between harm reduction programs and end-of-life care services are identified as one way to improve access, it is noted that more comprehensive harm reduction services might be needed in end-of-life care settings if they are to engage this underserved population
