L’objectif
This study aims to understand the role of peers in overdose response settings and their experiences interacting with emergency service providers (ESPs) within the context of the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act (GSDOA).
Constatations/points à retenir
Peers were often the first to respond to overdoses due to their positioning and saw themselves as having unique expertise in responding to overdoses and connecting with other people who use substances. However, peers perceived several barriers that impacted their ability to respond, including stigmatizing attitudes toward ESPs, lack of recognition, and lack of adequate resources.
