Awareness and knowledge of drug decriminalization among people who use drugs in British Columbia

Estimating the total utilization of take home naloxone during an unregulated drug toxicity crisis
Across all sites, kit use is approximately five times higher than has been reported. Our framework can also be applied to other localities where THN programs operate, in order to better estimate the true reach and impact of take home naloxone distribution
Feasibility of Implementing a Standardized Clinical Performance Indicator to Evaluate the Quality of Obstetrical Care in British Columbia
Maternal, Care Provider, and Institutional-Level Risk Factors for Early Term Elective Repeat Cesarean Delivery

Retrospective cohort study of women in the British Columbia (BC) Perinatal Data Registry, BC, Canada, 2008-2011, with an elective repeat cesarean delivery at term.
