I think most of the answers are not that optimistic.
Ever wondered how drug use intersects with public health and citizenship in a post-Soviet state? Jennifer J. Carroll's book 'Narkomania: Drugs, HIV, and Citizenship in Ukraine' dives deep into this complex web. Set against the backdrop of geopolitical upheaval and revolution, Carroll's ethnography challenges us to rethink our assumptions about substance use disorders and the people affected by them.
In Ukraine, where HIV prevalence among drug users is alarmingly high, Carroll unpacks the myths and realities surrounding medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and harm reduction efforts. She sheds light on how drug use is entangled with notions of 'good' citizenship and the impact of vigilantism on those who use drugs. Carroll's research isn't just about Ukraine; it offers valuable comparisons with the United States, highlighting different perspectives on addiction and public health.
This episode will make you question existing drug policies and consider new approaches for future research and interventions. Tune in to explore these pressing issues through Carroll's insightful lens.
