L’objectif
The primary objective of this study was to examine the impacts associated with implementation of overdose preventions sites (OPSs) in Victoria, Canada during a declared provincial public health overdose emergency
Constatations/points à retenir
Mitigating drug related stigma and facilitating a shift from shame and blame to increasing trust and development of r/t with increased opportunity to provide connections to other services. Although mitigating harms of OD, OPSs do not address the root problem of an unsafe drug supply. OPSs are imp life-saving interventions, but more is needed to address the current contamination of the illicit drug supply including provision of a safer supply.
