Research Spotlight Webinar |
Join us July 13 at 3pm EDT for a Research Spotlight webinar by the Patterns and Preferences Study team.
Presenters will talk about quantitative and qualitative findings from a provincial needs assessment led by the BC Centre for Disease Control, in collaboration with a peer advisory and peer researchers. This needs assessment aimed to identify the safer supply preferences and needs of people who use illegal drugs in British Columbia to center PWUD in the design and delivery of safer supply policies and programs.
The main focus will be on the substances and modes of use PWUD shared that they would need in order to make safer supply accessible and reduce their reliance on the illegal, contaminated drug supply.
