Abstract
"COVID-19 has resulted in unparalleled government interventions to close borders and restrict social interactions which have major implications for illicit drug supply, procurement and use practices, as well as responses," Professor Dietze said. "People who use drugs will be profoundly impacted by COVID-19 and so our study will leverage existing data collections to compare drug use practices and consequences before, during and after the COVID-19 interventions to determine COVID-19 impacts on people who use drugs."
