Ten-year longitudinal study of incarceration among a community-based cohort of people who inject drugs
People who inject drugs are over-represented among incarcerated populations. However, there are few studies elucidating patterns of incarceration among people who inject drugs, especially among community-based cohorts. Furthermore, data on drug use and injecting risk behaviours in carceral settings are limited globally. We aimed to describe lifetime patterns of incarceration, as well as drug use and injecting risk behaviours while incarcerated, a…
Initiation, cessation and resumption of attendance at the Melbourne supervised injecting room among a cohort of people who inject drugs
We found high MSIR service uptake, relative to cessation. Attendance was higher among men, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people, and those recently homeless, with frequent attenders injecting more often and those on OAT less likely to attend frequently
Dynamic shifts in crystal methamphetamine and heroin price and purity in metropolitan Melbourne and rural Victoria, Australia, 2009-2020
Overall declines in both crystal methamphetamine and heroin purity-adjusted prices in Victoria suggests that, by 2019, people who purchased these drugs received more drug for a given purchase than in previous years. These changes closely match trends seen in some key harms such as opioid overdose
Experiences of participation in a longitudinal cohort study of people who inject drugs in Victoria, Australia
Aim: Longitudinal cohort studies are important for understanding the social and health trajectories of people who inject drugs. Little research exists, however, about the motivations, challenges, and experiences of participation in these studies.Methods: To address this gap, we conducted in-depth interviews with participants of an open-ended natural history longitudinal cohort study (SuperMIX) and with fieldworkers who collect the data for this s…
The National Naloxone Reference Group: A collective voice on take‐home naloxone policy and practice in Australia
The National Naloxone Reference Group has played a key role in the development of take‐home naloxone programs, policy and practice in Australia. In this commentary we detail the origins of the group, some of its main achievements since its inception and its future directions in light of the major policy changes around naloxone that have recently occurred in Australia
All-cause mortality before and after DAA availability among people living with HIV and HCV: An international comparison between 2010 and 2019
Covid ‐19 vaccine acceptability among people in Australia who inject drugs: Implications for vaccine rollout
Criminal Justice Involvement after Release from Prison following Exposure to Community Mental Health Services among People Who Use Illicit Drugs and Have Mental Illness: A Systematic Review
Illicit drug use and mental illness are common among people in prison and are associated with higher rates of reoffending and reimprisonment. We conducted a systematic review, searching MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO to January 10, 2022, for studies reporting criminal justice involvement following exposure to community mental health services among people released from jail or prison who use illicit drugs and have mental illness. Our search identif…
Emergency department presentations in the first weeks following release from prison among men with a history of injecting drug use in Victoria, Australia: A prospective cohort study
Lifetime prevalence and correlates of self-harm and suicide attempts among male prisoners with histories of injecting drug use
BACKGROUND: Histories of self-harm and suicide attempts are common among people in prison in Australia, and substance dependence is an established risk factor for these lifetime experiences. We describe the prevalence of self-reported history of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide attempts in a cohort of men with recent histories of injecting drug use (IDU) imprisoned in Victoria, Australia. Baseline interviews from the Prison and Transit…
