So having a small test of the supply that they had of opioids before you know, then consuming a larger amount after they test the strength of it, accessing drugs through regular sources or trying their best to access it through a regular person who they trust, consuming with other people in their company.
What better way to mark International Overdose Awareness Day than by diving into some groundbreaking research? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Straight From the Source', researchers Renae Fomiatti and Adrian Farrugia from La Trobe University shed light on their latest projects. They discuss 'Overdose Lifesavers', which focuses on Naloxone, and 'Further Perspectives on Alcohol', which examines heavy drinking. Both projects aim to highlight the often-overlooked aspects of overdose prevention and the role of alcohol in overdose deaths.
Renae and Adrian bring a fresh perspective by centering their research on the experiences of drug users, helping to break down stigma and challenge stereotypes. The conversation also touches on how COVID-19 has affected access to health support strategies, making the urgency of addressing overdose and related issues like hepatitis C even more critical. Whether you're interested in the science behind Naloxone or the societal impacts of heavy drinking, this episode offers valuable insights that are both educational and empathetic.
