We must adapt harm reduction strategies and expand policies (repeal paraphernalia laws that prohibit drug checking and safer smoking supplies) to meet these evolving challenges in the drug supply. Read more about our findings & recommendations in the full paper. (5/6)

However, a lack of formal guidance left many PWUD relying on peer knowledge & improvised methods to identify/respond to xylazine. This highlights the urgent need for better (patient-facing) educational resources & drug-checking services to mitigate risks. #drugchecking (4/6)

Conducted at a Miami-based SSP, we interviewed 8 staff and 17 clients. We found that PWUD were the first to notice changes in their supply. Many PWUD changed their drug consumption behaviors in response to xylazine, trying to protect themselves from potential harm. (3/6)

Our study explores how xylazine was identified & how syringe services program (SSP) staff and clients (i.e., PWUD) responded in Miami. #HarmReduction (2/6)

The title of my proposal is "Determinants of transitioning from injecting to smoking fentanyl and methamphetamine and implications for harm reduction implementation". I'm passionate about exploring novel ways to address S/U esp. w/#harmreduction at the forefront.
