Examination of suspected opioid-related deaths in Ontario before and during the pandemic
Constatations/points à retenir
The findings of this report broadly suggest a need for policies and programs designed to urgently address the increase in opioid mortality, such as to provide access to harm reduction services, a range of low-barrier opioid agonist treatment options, a safer supply of drugs, other health and social supports, and integration of these services into hotels used to house people during the pandemic.
