Challenges of implementing safer supply programs in Canada during the Covid-19 pandemic: A qualitative analysis
Safer supply pilot programs in Canada face multiple inner and outer implementation challenges. Given the potential role of safer supply programs in addressing the drug toxicity crisis in Canada and the possibility of future scale-up, services should be well-supported during their implementation phases. Refining service provision within safer supply programs based on the feedback and experiences of clients and program administrators is warranted, …
Applying the socio-ecological model to understand community reintegration experiences among individuals on opioid agonist treatment (OAT) released from federal incarceration in Ontario, Canada
Introduction: Correctional populations on opioid agonist treatment (OAT) experience adverse outcomes upon community release. However, many factors impact post-release community reintegration experiences/trajectories, and few studies examine the complex interplay between these dynamics. The current study utilized the socio-ecological model (SEM) to examine the synergistic impact of individual, interpersonal, community, and organizational/policy-le…
Opioid agonist treatment (OAT) experiences and release plans among federally incarcerated individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) in Ontario, Canada: A mixed-methods study
Major barriers towards the current administration of OAT in federal correctional systems in Canada exist, including extensive waitlists, non-standardized practices, and challenges accessing preferred OAT formulations; this contributes to sub-optimal treatment. Eliminating waitlists, standardizing OAT provision, providing additional OAT options, and more comprehensive release planning may be essential for treatment retention and positive outcomes
A qualitative examination of substance use service needs among people who use drugs (PWUD) with treatment and service experience in Ontario, Canada
This study identified PWUD' needs in relation to substance use service provision in Ontario, Canada, and highlighted important areas for policy change and program planning and implementation. Concrete recommendations include the development of a government-funded, low-barrier, comprehensive and integrated service delivery and referral models that include PWUD as collaborators and program facilitators to ensure that services are as accessible, eff…
Changes in substance supply and use characteristics among people who use drugs (PWUD) during the Covid-19 global pandemic: A national qualitative assessment in Canada
This study demonstrated the impacts of COVID-19 on PWUD, including a significant disruption substance supply. For many, these changes led to increased use and substitution for toxic and adulterated substances, which ultimately amplified PWUD's risk for experiencing related harms, including overdoses. These findings warrant the need for improved supports and services, as well as accessibility of safe supply programs, take home naloxone kits, and n…
