Objective
We aimed to identify the socio-structural and substance use factors associated with re-incarceration among structurally-marginalized PWUD.
Findings/Key points
Access to housing and substance use services, including treatment for alcohol use disorder, following incarceration may reduce re-incarceration among PWUD. The high rates of re-incarceration of PWUD in our sample underscores how structural factors—such as homelessness and criminalization of substance use—drive re-incarceration among PWUD.
