Funded Activity Summary

People who inject drugs (PWID) commonly experience a range of health problems. These include injecting-related injuries and non-viral diseases (e.g. endocarditis), drug overdose and mental health problems. With a focus on reducing the presence of these harms among the injecting population, the proposed research aims to better understand the factors that contribute to PWID experiencing, or not experiencing, such harms.
