L’objectif
To inform future surveillance and research during the pandemic and other public health disasters, we report methods and lessons learned from an in-person survey of people who use opioids conducted by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Constatations/points à retenir
Surveys administered outdoors during the COVID-19 pandemic should be limited to 30 minutes. Although conducting in-person surveys poses unique challenges, this method should be considered so marginalized populations are included in data collection and public health responses.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
Survey domains inquired about participants’ drug use patterns, risk behaviors, overdose history, and service use.
