Objective
We examined the acceptability, delivery model preference, and anticipated effectiveness of different regulated opioid models among people in the Seattle area who inject opioids.
Findings/Key points
Most participants (69 %) indicated that receiving a regulated opioid supply would be “a lot less risky” than their current supply, 20 % said, “a little less risky”, 10 % said no difference, and 1 % said a little or a lot more risky. A regulated opioid supply would be acceptable to most participants, and participants reported it would greatly reduce their risk of overdose.
