L’objectif
We sought to examine the relationship between OAT engagement and crystal methamphetamine use and to assess if this relationship differs according to the ongoing use of unregulated opioids.
Constatations/points à retenir
Multivariable analyses showed that compared to those who had not received OAT for at least one year: in the absence of ongoing unregulated opioid use, individuals who recently discontinued, newly initiated, or were retained on OAT reported a lower frequency of crystal methamphetamine use; in the presence of ongoing unregulated opioid use, individuals who newly initiated OAT reported a greater crystal methamphetamine use frequency.
