L’objectif
This review synthesizes the literature on the perspectives and experiences of people who use drugs to better understand motivations and behaviors related to the extramedical use and diversion of buprenorphine
Constatations/points à retenir
The review identified varied and often divergent perspectives and experiences with extramedical buprenorphine use. An examination of the reported “normalizing” effects of extramedical buprenorphine suggests this practice as extending medicalized discipline beyond the clinical environment. Taken together, these findings identify a need to move beyond the tension of harm-reducing versus harm-producing effects toward forms of health care and promotion that focus on the needs, perspectives, and priorities of people who use drugs.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
