Risk mitigation guidance and safer supply prescribing among young people who use drugs in the context of Covid-19 and overdose emergencies

This case study examines the experiences of healthcare access amongst PWUD/A who live in a permanent supportive housing model in Vancouver, Canada. This model has an embedded multidisciplinary clinic providing in-reach services. Thirty participants were recruited via posters…
