Safe Supply at Insite, North America's First Supervised Consumption Site
The increasingly unpredictable and toxic unregulated drug supply puts people who use drugs at high risk of overdose and death. In April 2022, Insite—North America's first sanctioned supervised consumption site—started a prescribed powdered fentanyl safer supply program available to patients for on‐site consumption. This novel pharmaceutical product, created in partnership with a community compounding pharmacy, can be smoked or injected; is free o…
Sharing drug checking results in a Canadian setting
This study revealed that over half the study sample shared their drug checking results with others, with results sharing being positively associated with recent drug dealing, frequent DCS utilisation, employment and ethnicity. Drug checking results were most often shared with friends, family and drug dealers. These findings extend the evidence base of DCS as a harm reduction tool by demonstrating how engagement with DCS facilitates information di…
Harm reduction, treatment, and prevention—essential pillars to Canada’s response to the drug poisoning crisis
Gaining influence
Examining fentanyl and its analogues in the unregulated drug supply of British Columbia, Canada using drug checking technologies
A new quantitative drug checking technology for harm reduction
Take-home drug checking as a novel harm reduction strategy in British Columbia, Canada
Take-home fentanyl test strips used by PWUD on opioid samples can provide similar results to formal drug checking services and are a viable addition to existing overdose prevention strategies. Use of this strategy for detection of fentanyl in stimulant samples requires further evaluation. This intervention was well accepted and in some participants was associated with positive behaviour change
Changes in the unregulated opioid drug supply during income assistance payment weeks in Vancouver, Canada
Detection of synthetic cannabinoid adulteration in the unregulated drug supply in three Canadian settings
An outbreak of novel psychoactive substance benzodiazepines in the unregulated drug supply
Initial results of a drug checking pilot program to detect fentanyl adulteration in a Canadian setting
Evaluation of a fentanyl drug checking service for clients of a supervised injection facility, Vancouver, Canada
BACKGROUND: British Columbia, Canada, is experiencing a public health emergency related to opioid overdoses driven by consumption of street drugs contaminated with illicitly manufactured fentanyl. 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 …
