Nazlee Maghsoudi on Drug Checking Services: Insights and Impacts

For people who use drugs, harm reduction workers, clinicians, anyone who interacts with people who use drugs should really know what types of substances are actually being consumed.
Curious about how drug checking services can influence behavior and enhance safety? In this episode of 'Addiction Audio', Nazlee Maghsoudi sheds light on her systematic review of drug checking services for people who use drugs. From the origins in the late 1960s to the modern-day applications, Nazlee explores how these services help monitor drug markets and reduce risks associated with substance use.
Nazlee, who manages the Policy Impact Unit at the Centre on Drug Policy Evaluation in Toronto and is a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto, shares fascinating insights on the three waves of drug checking services over the decades. She highlights how these services empower users to make informed decisions—whether it's choosing to use less, seeking more information, or deciding not to use at all.
One intriguing aspect of the discussion is the collaboration with library sciences experts to set search parameters for her systematic review. This partnership ensures that the research is thorough and comprehensive, capturing a wide range of data. Nazlee also emphasizes the critical role drug checking services play for harm reduction workers and healthcare providers. By knowing what substances are being consumed, professionals can offer better, more targeted support.
Tune in to hear how Toronto's drug checking service is making a difference in understanding local drug use patterns. Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or someone with personal experience in addiction, this episode offers valuable insights into how drug checking services can change lives.
