L’objectif
We aimed to describe buprenorphine injection intended for sublingual use by rural people who inject drugs to inform patient-clinician discussions and public health interventions.
Constatations/points à retenir
People who injected buprenorphine intended for sublingual use more commonly reported sex- and drug-related behaviors associated with sexually transmitted and bloodborne infection transmission and overdose risk. Furthermore, buprenorphine injection was more common among individuals reporting receiving buprenorphine from “a doctor or program” in the past 30 days or being unable to access buprenorphine from a health care professional in the past 6 months.
