L’objectif
To better identify individuals at risk and inform patients and clinicians about xylazine risk factors.
Constatations/points à retenir
In this sample of PWIDs, most prefer not to use xylazine, yet use is common. Compared with PWIDs not using xylazine, PWIDs who use xylazine were more likely to have recent homelessness, polysubstance use, overdose history, and hepatitis C virus infection. Compared with concordant xylazine use, discordant xylazine use was associated with lower preference for fentanyl, heroin as the primary injection drug, and lower use of syringe service programs.
