  • Navigating concurrent public health emergencies

    Open AccessChenoa Cassidy-Matthews, Jorden Hendry et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Connection and resilience are critical to the health and wellbeing of Indigenous Peoples who use drugs (IPWUD): connection to family, cultural supports, safer coping mechanisms and circles of care. Urban IPWUD are more likely to face multiple harms from emergency public health restrictions alongside ongoing toxic drug and housing crises in British Columbia. This paper aims to amplify the experiences of urban IPWUD as they navigated the COVID-19 p…

  • Pediatric ACEs and Related Life Events Screener (PEARLS v2)

    Open AccessMeghan C Evans, Maryam Kia‐Keating et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child & Adolescent…2025

    Due to a demonstrated relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and a range of psychological, physical, and social risks, there has been a growing movement to integrate routine ACEs screening in pediatric settings. As screenings have increased, there has also been a call for research to uncover areas for improvement in the implementation of these screenings. The Pediatric ACEs and Related Life Events Screener (PEARLS) is one commo…

  • How injectable opioid agonist treatment (iOAT) care could be improved? service providers and stakeholders’ perspectives

    Tianna Magel, Elizabeth Matzinger et al.ARTICLEDrugs Education Prevention and…2024

    Background Addressing inadequacies in the implementation of existing evidence-based approaches into practice, such as injectable opioid agonist treatment (iOAT), is imperative for the management of opioid use disorder. With the expansion of iOAT, stakeholder perspectives are needed to inform program optimization. This study aimed to understand stakeholder and provider perspectives on iOAT care and how it can be improved to better meet service use…

  • Building Capacity for Injectable Diacetylmorphine and Hydromorphone for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder

    Tianna Magel, Lourdes Atziri Gonzalez Arreola et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2024

    Identifying typical doses of existing opioid use disorder medications, such as injectable opioid agonist treatment (iOAT), can support client and program needs, and potentially increase iOAT expansion. Longitudinal data from participants in a cohort study ( n = 131), along with clinic dispensation records from August 2014 to April 2020, were used to examine physician prescribed as well as used doses of injectable diacetylmorphine and hydromorphon…

  • The Cedar Project

    Open AccessRicha Sharma, Sherri Pooyak et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Racism continues to drive health disparities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. This study focuses on racism experienced by young Indigenous people who have used drugs in British Columbia (BC), and predictors of interpersonal racism. Cedar Project is a community-governed cohort study involving young Indigenous people who use drugs in Vancouver and Prince George, BC. This cross-sectional study included data collected between …

  • Cango Lyec (Healing the Elephant)

    Open AccessJue Luo, David Zamar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Migration and Health2022Referências: 6

    Cango Lyec participants displayed lower than previously reported yet significant levels of probable PTSD and depression. Based on findings from this study, providing trauma-informed care, ensuring food and housing security, eliminating gender-based violence, and reintegrating former abductees remain important tasks to facilitate post-conflict rehabilitation in Northern Uganda

  • Ethnicity and HIV vulnerabilities among men who have sex with men in China

    Stephen W Pan, Richard M Carpiano et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    Ethnic affiliation can define sociocultural boundaries and contribute to the HIV vulnerabilities faced by men who have sex with men (MSM). This study investigated the influence of ethnic affiliation on HIV vulnerabilities among MSM in North China. Our study analyzed a cross-sectional survey of MSM (n = 398) in two major North China cities. We examined associations between ethnic affiliation and (a) HIV status, (b) sexual behaviors and experiences…

  • Predictors of treatment allocation guesses in a randomized controlled trial testing double-blind injectable hydromorphone and diacetylmorphine for severe opioid use disorder

    Eugenia Oviedo‐Joekes, Kirsten Marchand et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2016

    Background: SALOME (Study to Assess Longer-term Opioid Medication Effectiveness) tested in a double-blind non-inferiority clinical trial if hydromorphone could be as effective as diacetylmorphine for severe opioid use disorder. Although participants did not guess treatment correctly beyond what is expected by chance, perceived treatment assignment could affect patients’ response to treatment. This study tested if treatment allocation guess is ass…

  • The Cedar Project

    Open AccessFor The Cedar Project Partnership, Margo E Pearce et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Young people in this study have faced multiple complex challenges to their strength. However, cultural foundations continue to function as buffers that protect young Indigenous people from severe health outcomes, including vulnerability to HIV and HCV infection

    This study explored trends of sexual assault and associated risk factors within a cohort of young Aboriginal women who used drugs in Vancouver and Prince George, Canada, between 2003 and 2010. Results demonstrated no change in the trend of sexual assault over time; however, odds of sexual assault were significantly higher for women who had at least one parent who attended residential school, had experienced childhood sexual abuse, were involved i…

  • War and HIV

    Open AccessSheetal Patel, Martin T Schechter et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2014

    Despite growing knowledge of the dynamics of HIV infection during conflict, far less is known about the period that follows cessation of hostilities and its implications for population health. This study sought to fill a lacuna in epidemiological evidence by examining HIV infection and related vulnerabilities of young people living in resource-scarce, post-emergency transit camps that are now home to thousands of displaced people following two de…

    Little information exists on the use of condoms as protective barriers to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among indigenous people in Canada. This study explores risk factors of inconsistent condom use (during consensual sex) over time among participants in the Cedar Project, a prospective cohort study of indigenous young people living in Vancouver and Prince George, British Columbia, who use drugs. Due to the serial measurements for each s…

  • Comparison of HIV-related vulnerabilities between former child soldiers and children never abducted by the LRA in northern Uganda

    Open AccessSheetal Patel, Martin T Schechter et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2013

    This study persuasively demonstrates that all young people in northern Ugandan have been similarly affected by HIV infection during war and displacement. Post-conflict programme planners must therefore abandon rudimentary targeting practices based on abductees as a high-profile category. Instead, they must develop evidence-based HIV interventions that are commensurate with young people's specific needs. As such programmes will be less stigmatizin…

    This study contributes to the limited body of research addressing HCV infection among Aboriginal people in Canada. The HCV incidence rate among Cedar Project participants who were new initiates of injection drug use underscores an urgent need for HCV and injection prevention and safety strategies aimed at supporting young people surviving injection drug use and sex work in both cities. Young people must be afforded the opportunity to provide lead…
