Hirchak, K.A., Amiri, S., Kordas, G. et al. Variations in national availability of waivered buprenorphine prescribers by racial and ethnic composition of zip codes. Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy 17, 41 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13011-022-00457-3
Background
Opioidoverdose remains a public health crisis in diverse communities. Between 2019 and 2020, there was an almost 40% increase in drug fatalities primarily due to opioid analogues of both stimulants and opioids. Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD; e.g., buprenorphine) are effective, evidence-based treatments that can be delivered in office-based primary care settings. We investigated disparities in the proportion of national prescribers who have obtained a waiver issued to prescribe MOUD by demographic characteristics.
Turuba, R., Amarasekera, A., Howard, A.M. et al. A qualitative study exploring how young people perceive and experience substance use services in British Columbia, Canada. Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy 17, 43 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13011-022-00456-4
Background
Substance use among youth (ages 12–24) is troublesome given the increasing risk of harms associated. Even more so, substance use services are largely under utilised among youth, most only accessing support when in crisis. Few studies have explored young people’s help-seeking behaviours to address substance use concerns. To address this gap, this study explored how youth perceive and experience substance use services in British Columbia (BC), Canada.
Methods
Participatory action research methods were used by partnering with BC youth (under the age of 30) from across the province...

Тло
При використанні в поєднанні з іншими методами лікування розладів, пов'язаних з вживанням наркотиків, нейрофідбек (NF) був класифікований як «ймовірно ефективний», згідно з останніми дослідженнями в співтоваристві людей з розладом, пов'язаним з вживанням опіоїдів. Незважаючи на ці обнадійливі результати, тяжкість опіоїдної кризи та високий ризик рецидиву навіть при найефективнішій підтримуючій терапії, НФ залишається маловивченим терапевтичним варіантом. Розглянуто можливість включення альфа/тета-нейрофідбеку до стандартної терапії опіоїдної залежності в амбулаторному міському...

Watson, D.P., Staton, M.D., Grella, C.E. et al. Navigating intersecting public health crises: a qualitative study of people with opioid use disorders' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy 17, 22 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13011-022-00449-3
Background
The long-running opioid epidemic and the more recent COVID-19 pandemic are two interrelated events with major public health implications for people who use opioids (OUD). The majority of studies on the interaction of these two public health concerns have employed pre-existing data to focus on community, state, or national patterns. Complementary qualitative research is needed to determine how persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) comprehend, experience, and navigate this unique period. The current study investigates people with OUD's perceptions and experiences as they negotiated...

Imtiaz, S., Wells, S., Rehm, J. et al. Daily cannabis use during the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Canada: a repeated cross-sectional study from May 2020 to December 2020. Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy 17, 14 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13011-022-00441-x
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in substantial burden of disease in Canada. Daily cannabis use is most strongly implicated in the cannabis-attributable burden of disease. In the context of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Canada, the trends were characterised in daily cannabis use in the overall sample and various population subgroups, and examined risk characteristics associated with daily cannabis use.
The specific objectives of this study were as follows:
Characterise trends in daily cannabis use in the overall sample and various...
