L’objectif
Characterize methamphetamine use and its associated risk factors among people who use opioids (PWUO).
Constatations/points à retenir
Methamphetamine use was associated with younger age, residing in rural areas, lower socioeconomic status, mental and physical illnesses, and engaging in risky sexual and drug use behaviours. To combat the expanding “twin epidemic” of opioid and methamphetamine use, scaling up harm reduction interventions, supporting low-threshold addiction care, and investing in therapeutic options for methamphetamine use disorder is warranted.
