Background

Novel public health interventions are needed to address the toxic drug supply and meet the needs of people who use drugs amidst the overdose crisis.

Purposive sampling was used to recruit professional stakeholders (n = 17) from four locations in British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, including...

Sfondo

Si afferma che le collaborazioni interdisciplinari (cioè in cui varie discipline lavorano in modo coordinato e interdipendente verso obiettivi condivisi) producono una maggiore efficacia di squadra rispetto agli approcci multidisciplinari (cioè, dove varie discipline lavorano in parallelo all'interno dei loro confini professionali) in contesti di assistenza sanitaria somatica.

In order to address the often-complex issues this population experience, it is important the workforce has appropriate knowledge about the challenges people are facing, the different forms of support and targeted interventions that are available, and means of...

Executive summary

The 10-year UK Government plan to combat illegal drugs sets out how we are doing more than ever to cut off the supply of drugs by criminal gangs and give people with a drug addiction a route to a productive and drug-free life.

National and local partners will focus on delivering three strategic priorities:

1. Break drug supply chains – Home Office and Ministry of Justice
2. Deliver a world-class treatment and recovery system –...
