The short-term impacts of the decriminalization of personal possession of select illegal drugs on drug possession criminal incidents and criminal cases in British Columbia, Canada (2013 to 2023)
“It’s Something That Will Stay With Me.”
Photovoice is a participatory visual methodology that can be used to collect rich qualitative insights into sensitive issues. Photovoice lends itself to a co-production framework. This qualitative study evaluates the experience of participating in a co-produced photovoice project in a Recovery College setting. A sample of 18 participants participated in this study, which consisted of three rounds of seven photography workshops, followed by focus …
‘Every Voice Matters’
BACKGROUND: The engagement of people with lived experience (PWLE) of mental health and substance use health challenges in the co-production of health services, programming and research has many benefits, but how co-production impacts those involved remains unclear. Recovery Colleges are low-barrier, generally co-produced education programmes focused on mental health and wellness. Designed to support individuals on their personal recovery journeys…
Examining opioid agonist treatment (OAT) site operations and early signals of change in the first year of British Columbia’s drug decriminalization policy
Despite minimal changes to OAT site operations within the first year of BC's decriminalization policy, findings suggest the need for increased staff training on decriminalization and continued investments into OAT to better support the anticipated demand on services if decriminalization is to successfully reach its goal of improving access to treatment
‘Is It Safe? Is it not?’ A Youth‐Led Photovoice Study of Youth Perspectives of Covid‐19 Vaccine Confidence
BACKGROUND: Youth have been uniquely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite high rates of COVID-19 infection, youth had one of the lowest vaccine uptake rates. Certain characteristics can affect vaccine uptake, such as mental health and substance use, but it is important to understand uptake for an effective response to pandemics. OBJECTIVE: This study examined the perspectives of youth with mental health or substance use concerns on COVID-19…
The decriminalization of illicit drugs in British Columbia
This evaluation will draw on implementation science research practices to evaluate and understand the full impacts of this novel drug policy experiment. Results will be widely disseminated through manuscripts, reports, presentations, and infographics, which will be adapted and tailored for specific audiences. The protocol identifies several anticipated challenges and limitations. This evaluation's evidence-based findings will be poised to offer p…
