Prevalence and Correlates of Reporting a Gabapentin Prescription for Pain Among People Who Use Opioids
Gender differences in the association between housing status and violence among people who report exposure to benzodiazepines
BACKGROUND: Benzodiazepine exposure through the contaminated unregulated drug supply is associated with heightened risk of violent victimization, particularly for women. It is critical to identify the structural factors that intersect with drug toxicity and condition vulnerability to violence. As such, we conducted a gender-based analysis of the impacts of stable housing on violence among a sample of people exposed to benzodiazepines. METHODS: Us…

Migration Patterns from an Open Illicit Drug Scene and Emergency Department Visits among People Who Use Illicit Drugs in Vancouver, Canada
BACKGROUND: People who use illicit drugs (PWUD) experience various adverse health outcomes leading to increased healthcare service utilization. PWUD are also a highly mobile population which poses challenges to healthcare delivery. The objective of this study was to identify migration patterns from the Downtown Eastside (DTES), an urban illicit drug scene in Vancouver and to estimate the impact of different migration patterns on two outcomes: a) …
The role of cannabis in pain management among people living with HIV who use drugs
Prevalence and longitudinal correlates of recent exposure to fentanyl among HIV-positive people who use unregulated drugs during a community-wide overdose crisis
The United States and Canada are experiencing an opioid overdose crisis driven largely by exposure to fentanyl (a potent synthetic opioid), with little known about fentanyl exposure among HIV-positive people who use unregulated drugs (PWUD). We sought to estimate the prevalence and correlates of fentanyl exposure among a community-recruited sample derived from a prospective cohort study of HIV-positive PWUD in Vancouver, Canada. Generalized linea…
Investigating a bidirectional relationship between overdose and provision of injection initiation assistance among persons who inject drugs in Vancouver, Canada and Tijuana, Mexico
A paradox of need
In Canada, publicly funded healthcare provides no-cost access to a large but not comprehensive suite of services. Dental care is largely funded by private insurance or patients, creating employment- and income-dependent gaps in care access. Difficulties accessing dental care may be amplified among vulnerable populations, including people who use drugs (PWUD), who may experience greater dental need due to side effects of substance use and health c…
Use of Cannabis for Harm Reduction Among People at High Risk for Overdose in Vancouver, Canada (2016–2018)
Objectives. To characterize the prevalence and reasons for the use of cannabis as a strategy to reduce the harms arising from other substances. Methods. We drew data about recent cannabis use and intentions from 3 prospective cohort studies of marginalized people who use drugs based in Vancouver, Canada, from June 2016 to May 2018. The primary outcome was “use of cannabis for harm reduction,” defined as using cannabis for substitution for licit o…

Frequent Cannabis Use and Cessation of Injection of Opioids, Vancouver, Canada, 2005–2018
Objectives. To evaluate the impact of frequent cannabis use on injection cessation and injection relapse among people who inject drugs (PWID). Methods. Three prospective cohorts of PWID from Vancouver, Canada, provided the data for these analyses. We used extended Cox regression analysis with time-updated covariates to analyze the association between cannabis use and injection cessation and injection relapse. Results. Between 2005 and 2018, at-le…
Benzodiazepine Use and Hepatitis C Seroconversion in a Cohort of Persons Who Inject Drugs
Objectives. To examine the relationship between benzodiazepine (BZD) use and HCV seroconversion in 2 linked prospective cohorts of persons who inject drugs (PWID). Methods. We examined prospective cohorts of 440 PWID (baseline BZD users: n = 102; 23.2%) from the AIDS Care Cohort to Evaluate Access to Survival Services (ACCESS) and the Vancouver Injection Drug Users Study (VIDUS) cohorts, followed-up from 1996 to 2013 in Vancouver, Canada. Results…
Increased drug use and the timing of social assistance receipt among people who use illicit drugs
Recent incarceration and use of a supervised injection facility in Vancouver, Canada
There are concerns that Vancouver's supervised injection facility (SIF) for injection drug users (IDU) is an amplifier of drug-related crime. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the possible association between SIF use and recent incarceration among IDU. We examined incarceration experiences among participants in the Scientific Evaluation of Supervised Injecting (SEOSI) prospective cohort. The relationship between recent incarceration and frequent S…
Incarceration experiences among a community-recruited sample of injection drug users in Bangkok, Thailand
Over three-quarters of the IDU participating in this study reported a history of incarceration, and 30% of these individuals reported injection drug use within prison. Further, an alarmingly high level of syringe sharing within prison was reported, and incarceration was not associated with reductions in drug use. These findings provide further evidence of the need for community diversion strategies, as well as harm reduction programs, in Thai pri…
Reduction in overdose mortality after the opening of North America's first medically supervised safer injecting facility
High prevalence of childhood emotional, physical and sexual trauma among a Canadian cohort of HIV-seropositive illicit drug users
BACKGROUND: The psychosocial impacts of various types of childhood maltreatment on vulnerable illicit drug-using populations remain unclear. We examined the prevalence and correlates of antecedent emotional, physical and sexual abuse among a community-recruited cohort of adult HIV-seropositive illicit drug users. METHODS: We estimated the prevalence of childhood abuse at baseline using data from the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, a 28-item valid…
Adherence and plasma HIV RNA response to antiretroviral therapy among HIV-seropositive injection drug users in a Canadian setting
HIV-positive individuals who use injection drugs (IDU) may have lower rates of adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, previous studies of factors associated with adherence to ART among IDU have been limited primarily to samples drawn from clinical settings and in areas with financial barriers to healthcare.We evaluated patterns of ART adherence and rates of plasma HIV RNA response among a Canadian cohort of community-re…

Relationship between hunger, adherence to antiretroviral therapy and plasma HIV RNA suppression among HIV-positive illicit drug users in a Canadian setting
Food insecurity may be a barrier to achieving optimal HIV treatment-related outcomes among illicit drug users. This study therefore, aimed to assess the impact of severe food insecurity, or hunger, on plasma HIV RNA suppression among illicit drug users receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). A cross-sectional Multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the potential relationship between hunger and plasma HIV RNA suppression. A sampl…
Factors linked to transitions in adherence to antiretroviral therapy among HIV-infected illicit drug users in a Canadian setting
HIV-positive people who use illicit drugs typically achieve lower levels of adherence to antiretroviral therapy and experience higher rates of sub-optimal HIV/AIDS treatment outcomes. Given the dearth of longitudinal research into ART adherence dynamics, we sought to identify factors associated with transitioning into and out of optimal adherence to ART in a longitudinal study of HIV-infected people who use illicit drugs (PWUD) in a setting of un…

Longer duration of homelessness is associated with a lower likelihood of non-detectable plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load among people who use illicit drugs in a Canadian setting
Homelessness is common among people who use drugs (PWUD) and, for those living with HIV/AIDS, an important contributor to sub-optimal HIV treatment outcomes. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the duration of homelessness and the likelihood of plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load (VL) non-detectability among a cohort of HIV-positive PWUD. We used data from the ACCESS study, a long-running prospective cohort study of HIV-positive PWUD …
