Provision of safer smoking equipment to reduce health harms and enhance service engagement among people who use crack
BACKGROUND: Safer smoking equipment interventions for people who smoke crack cocaine have been unevenly implemented globally with most harm reduction policy and practice focused on preventing opioid and injecting related harms. There is a need to synthesise the international evidence on safer inhalation equipment provision for crack and understand how, why, for whom, and in what context can such interventions improve engagement with services, pro…
Crack-cocaine use practices, harms and respiratory problems
The use of stimulants, such as crack-cocaine, is a global public health concern. Crack-cocaine use is increasing in the UK, but available data is focused on those who inject or also use opioids. To address this gap, characteristics of people using crack-cocaine in England, including respiratory problems among those who smoke, and variation in these by gender are described. Adults self-reporting crack-cocaine use in the past 28 days, recruited by …

Identifying and assessing the capacity and experience of trial sites in low- and middle-income countries for high-quality randomised drug trials in maternal and perinatal health
Existing international consortia for drug trials in maternal and perinatal health have focused largely on pragmatic trials using off-label medicines. This study aimed to identify and assess the capacity and experience of sites in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) for conducting trials for regulatory approval of medicines for pregnancy-related conditions. We systematically reviewed site assessment checklists across any disease area to devel…
Understanding and learning from rural drug service adaptations to opioid substitution therapy during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction In April 2020, in response to government COVID-19 advice, changes were made to the way English drug services operated. Methadone and buprenorphine were typically dispensed in 1- to 2-week supplies, and key working was conducted by phone/online. Previous studies have examined the impact of these changes on people from urban settings. This study adds the experiences and perspectives of people receiving care from drug services in rural …
Contraceptive choice and power amongst women receiving opioid replacement therapy
nBackground: Women receiving treatment for opioid use disorder have low levels of contraception use and high rates of unintended pregnancies, abortion and children being adopted or fostered. This paper aims to understand the relationship between contraceptive choice and power amongst women receiving Opioid Replacement Therapy (ORT). Methods: During 2016/17, semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 40 women (aged 22–49 years) receiving ORT …
Prevalence and factors associated with chronic venous insufficiency, leg ulceration and deep‐vein thrombosis among people who inject drugs in London, UK
Methadone and buprenorphine-related deaths among people prescribed and not prescribed Opioid Agonist Therapy during the Covid-19 pandemic in England
Methadone-related deaths in non-prescribed individuals, but not prescribed individuals, increased considerably above the annual trend forecast for 2020 during the first COVID-19 lockdown in England. Further studies are thus needed to understand this difference
Living Under Coronavirus and Injecting Drugs in Bristol (Lucid-B)
This study captures the significant impacts and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of PWID. While rapid adaptations to service delivery to help mitigate the risks of COVID-19 were appreciated and some changes such as relaxation of supervised daily OST consumption were viewed positively, barriers to access need further attention. Going forwards there may be opportunities to harness the positive aspects of some changes to services
Qualitative exploration of the experiences of men who use drugs of obtaining psychoactive medicinal products in Jordan
In Jordan, almost any medication can be bought from pharmacies. This ready availability is linked with abuse. Previous literature describes medicine abuse from pharmacists' and general public perspectives. Here we investigate experiences of 17 men in addiction treatment in Amman (21-39 years) of obtaining psychoactive medicines. Alprazolam, clonazepam, bromazepam and tramadol were most commonly abused. Psychoactive medicines were obtained from st…
A qualitative study on intersectional stigma and sexual health among women on opioid substitution treatment in England
Depression/Bipolar Peer Support Groups
Peer support services remain poorly understood by many mental health service providers. In this study we explored the views of people who use peer led support groups. We asked how adding peer support groups changed, balanced, or augmented the use of conventional mental health services. Participants were 43 adults attending 4 peer led support groups for depression/bipolar disorder. Data consisted of observations of all 43 participants interacting …

"Experiencing "The Other Side
Work-related pressures and susceptibility to health problems mean that many general practitioners (GPs) will, at some stage, experience the role of patient. However qualitative evidence about their experiences of illness and patienthood is sparse. Our study offers an interpretative perspective on GPs' experiences of illness and the influence that this has had on their practice. Seventeen GPs who had experienced significant illness took part in se…
Encouraging Environmentally and Socially Responsible Practices Through Well-designed Certification
The tourism industry has developed a range of voluntary initiatives such as certification programmes as a means to improving environmental performance. The plethora of programmes and their criteria, benchmarks, monitoring and assessment methods raise questions of credibility. A WTO study conducted in 2001 revealed over 7,000 certified products worldwide. Of 500 voluntary initiatives examined, only 59 certification/ecolabel programmes had the basi…
