L’objectif
This study aimed to longitudinally investigate incidence and predictors of first nonfatal overdose among women sex workers who use drugs.
Constatations/points à retenir
Nonfatal overdose in this setting is a critical public health concern. Criminalization-related barriers to harm reduction strongly predicted nonfatal overdose. Structural changes to legal and policing practices alongside gender-sensitive addiction services are urgently needed.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
Data (2010–2019) were drawn from AESHA (An Evaluation of Sex Workers Health Access), a community-based, prospective, open cohort of > 900 women sex workers in Metro Vancouver, Canada.
