L’objectif
This study seeks to examine trends and correlates of individuals obtaining a take-home naloxone (THN) kit in BC between 2017 and 2020.
Constatations/points à retenir
THN kits were used to reverse tens of thousands of overdose events in BC, with people at risk of overdose (i.e. people who use drugs [PWUD]) having greater odds of using a kit to reverse an overdose than those not at risk. Thus, PWUD are responsible for reversing the vast majority of overdoses
