L’objectif
We sought to assess the level of awareness of risk mitigation prescribing (RMP) and identify factors associated with this awareness among PWUD in Vancouver, BC.
Constatations/points à retenir
At least four months after the release of the guidelines, RMP was known to less than half of our study participants, warranting urgent educational efforts for PWUD, particularly among racialized groups and those who were not accessing other harm reduction services. Furthermore, the majority of participants who were aware of RMP guidelines had never tried to access the service, suggesting the need to improve perceived accessibility and knowledge of eligibility criteria.
