Community Pharmacy‐Based Injectable Opioid Agonist Treatment
A qualitative evaluation of a fentanyl patch safer supply program in Vancouver, Canada
Our findings demonstrate the value of including fentanyl patch safer supply in the substance use continuum of care and offer insights for innovations in delivery of this intervention
Translating the lived experience of illicit drinkers into program guidance for cannabis substitution
A small but growing body of research has suggested the potential for cannabis substitution to support Managed Alcohol Program (MAP) service users to reduce acute and chronic alcohol-related harms. In 2022, researchers from the Canadian Managed Alcohol Program Study (CMAPS) noted a dearth of accessible, alcohol-specific educational resources to support service users and program staff to implement cannabis substitution pilots at several MAP sites i…
Covid just kind of opened a can of whoop-ass”
Data confirmed the capacity for rapid scale-up of flexible, community-based safer supply prescribing during dual public health emergencies. Geographical, client demographic, and funding gaps highlight the need to target barriers to implementation, service delivery and sustainability
Breaking the cycle of survival drinking
Managed alcohol programs (MAPs) have been implemented in Canada to reduce harms of severe alcohol use disorder and homelessness.

A Low-Barrier and Comprehensive Community-Based Harm-Reduction Site in Vancouver, Canada
“The Molson” is a low-barrier, peer-staffed, supervised consumption site located in Vancouver, Canada. In addition to overdose response, this site offers drug checking and a colocated injectable hydromorphone treatment program, and it distributes tablet and liquid hydromorphone to service users at high risk of overdose. Our evaluation suggests benefits of this program in creating service continuums and preventing overdose deaths. From September 2…
Impact of unstable housing on all-cause mortality among persons who inject drugs
These findings demonstrate that unstable housing is an important risk factor for mortality independent of known risk factors including HIV infection and patterns of drug use. This study highlights the urgent need to provide supportive housing interventions to address elevated levels of preventable mortality among this population
