Methadone Program Directors’ Perceptions of Barriers and Supports to Engage People with Opioid Use Disorders in Methadone Services
Background: Methadone programs to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) are highly regulated, but many of their restrictions were relaxed during COVID-19, such as expanded medication take-home privileges and telehealth access. Many of these reforms have been sustained post-COVID-19, but substantial risks for overdose persist nationally. Identifying non-pandemic factors that improve service access and utilization is crucial to prevent additional mortali…
Xylazine’s Impacts on the Community in Philadelphia
BACKGROUND: Xylazine is in 99% of the fentanyl supply in Philadelphia, PA and is on the rise throughout the United States. Perspectives about this emerging crisis among people who use opioids (PWUO) and harm reduction workers are lacking. METHODS: We conducted focus groups with PWUO and harm reduction workers in Philadelphia, PA. Discussions focused on xylazine's impact on PWUO. Transcripts were coded for thematic analysis. RESULTS: Themes across…
Urgent Need for Pairing Training and Education With Fentanyl Test Strip Distribution
The Evolving Overdose Crisis
Making Harm Reduction More Accessible
BACKGROUND: Fentanyl test strips (FTS) are a harm reduction method for people to test their drugs for fentanyl. Ideal points for FTS distribution have not been identified. Many people who use drugs have frequent contact with the Emergency Department (ED). We piloted FTS distribution in two urban hospital EDs. METHODS: Between June-December 2021 in Philadelphia, PA, patients with past 30-day drug use completed a survey about drug use, fentanyl att…
Media framing xylazine as a “zombie drug” is amplifying stigma onto people who use drugs
Regressive policing, a return to the war on drugs, and the need for qualitative and ethnographic policy evaluations
A Qualitative Analysis of Hospitalist Perceptions of Self-Directed Discharge Among Inpatients with Opioid Use Disorder
Background: People with opioid use disorder (OUD) have high rates of hospital admissions and high rates of patient-directed discharge, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to understand hospitalist attitudes toward patients with OUD leaving before treatment completion and their willingness to collaborate with patients in future initiatives focused on improving the experience of hospital-based care for patients w…
A Failure to Guide
INTRODUCTION: Medical cannabis has been available for purchase in dispensaries in Pennsylvania, United States since April 2018. Patients wanting to access medical cannabis must receive certification from physicians for a limited number of physical and psychological conditions. Despite increasing numbers of patients using cannabis in the United States, little is known about the patient experience during certification and entry into state-regulated…
A Qualitative Exploration of the Functional, Social, and Emotional Impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic on People Who Use Drugs
Since 2020, people who use drugs (PWUD) experienced heightened risks related to drug supply disruptions, contamination, overdose, social isolation, and increased stress. This study explored how the lives of PWUD changed in Philadelphia over a one-year period. Using semi-structured interviews with 20 participants in a Housing First, low-barrier medication for opioid use (MOUD) program in Philadelphia, the effects of the first year of the COVID-19 …
