L’objectif
We examined competing risks and drivers of solitary drug use (SDU), as well as harm reduction strategies implemented during SDU episodes, among women who inject drugs.
Constatations/points à retenir
Women who inject drugs appear to engage frequently in solitary drug use due to constraints of the physical and social environments in which they use drugs. They express a preference for accompanied drug use in most cases and report implementing strategies to mitigate their overdose risk, especially when using drugs alone.
