Patterns of Drug and Polydrug Detection in Drivers Suspected of Driving Under the Influence of an Intoxicant in Ireland 2019–2020
Impact of guidance issued during Covid-19 to expand access to take-home dosing of opioid agonist treatment (OAT) on OAT prescribing practices in primary care in Ireland
Aims To examine the impact of changes in guidance for take-home doses (THDs) of OAT during COVID-19 on THD prescribing in primary care in Ireland. Methods Cross-sectional data on all prescriptions of OAT (methadone or buprenorphine) in primary care (2018–2023). Weekly percentage change in numbers prescribed 0–1, 2–5, 6–13, ≥14 THDs after the guidance release (13th March 2020) were assessed using interrupted time series autoregressive moving avera…
Dublin’s supervised injecting facility
Early evidence suggests community level benefits after four months including reduced drug-related litter and public loitering. Continued monitoring is required to assess long-term impact
Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) use and harms in Ireland
These data suggest that HHC has become a prominent feature of the Irish drug landscape. Given its harm potential, it will be important to monitor HHC use and related health harms
Community Pharmacy Needle Exchange Programme
Community Pharmacy Needle Exchanges are a harm reduction measure that have been established in a number of countries to provide access to sterile injecting equipment for people who inject drugs (PWID). To ensure that they are meeting needs, it is important to monitor the use of the services. This study aimed to determine patterns of needle distribution and return in community pharmacies in Ireland over time. The number of pharmacies, needle packs…
A Systematized Review of Drug-checking and Related Considerations for Implementation as A Harm Reduction Intervention
Drug-checking services (DCS) provide people who use drugs (PWUD) the opportunity to have their substances tested before consumption. Though some suggest they may have adverse consequences, DCS have been introduced as a harm reduction (HR) strategy. A systematized review of the literature regarding drug checking (DC) methods and testing locations, advantages and disadvantages, and legal frameworks with an emphasis on HR was conducted referencing P…
Impact of Covid-19 & Response Measures on HIV-HCV Prevention Services and Social Determinants in People Who Inject Drugs in 13 Sites with Recent HIV Outbreaks in Europe, North America and Israel
Consensus recommendations for opioid agonist treatment following the introduction of emergency clinical guidelines in Ireland during the Covid-19 pandemic
A wide range of stakeholders involved in the delivery and receipt of OAT agreed on 16 clinical guidance statements for inclusion in OAT clinical guidelines as we move beyond the pandemic, rather than reverting to pre-pandemic guidelines. The agreed statements relate to facilitating safe access to OAT with minimal waiting time, supporting patient-centred care to promote health and well-being, and preventing drug overdose. Notably, consensus was no…

The Experience and Meaning of Problematic ‘G’ (GHB/GBL) Use in an Irish Context
Innovative co-design of integrated services designed to improve access to health care
An introduction: (comprising background and problem statement) Homeless people suffer higher mortality and morbidity rates than the general population at the same time their access to and indeed use of health services is less than the housed population.Description of policy context and objective: Ireland is currently experiencing an increase in homelessness. There is a shortage of suitable housing and this together with unaffordable rents in the …
Consequences of legislative changes to methadone prescribing in Ireland
Evaluation of the impact of Dublin's expanded harm reduction programme on prevalence of hepatitis C among short-term injecting drug users
During the period 1991 to late 1993 there was a large increase in harm reduction programmes in Dublin. These services include including methadone treatment, education regarding safer injecting and syringe exchange. This study investigated whether injecting drug users with short injecting histories would have a lower prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) than those who started injecting during the period after an expansion in harm reduction progra…
