L’objectif
We sought to identify correlates of recent informal drug checking service (DCS) use (e.g., fentanyl test strips) and willingness to use a formal DCS (co-located within a supervised consumption site and employing laboratory-based analyses) in Toronto, Canada prior to its implementation.
Constatations/points à retenir
Although recent informal DCS use was infrequently reported in our study, willingness to use a formal DCS was high. Our findings indicate a potential role for laboratory-based DCS in mitigating overdose risk among individuals accessing the unregulated drug supply.
