In response to the current opioid crisis in Canada, establishing safe injection services (SIS) in high risk communities has become more prevalent. In November 2017, The Trailer opened in Ottawa, Canada and tracks client use, overdose treatment and overdoses reversed. We analyzed data collected between November 2017 and August 2018. During peak hours, demand for services consistently exceeded The Trailer's capacity. Overdoses treated and reversed in this facility increased substantially during this period. Results suggest The Trailer provided an important though not optimal (due to space restrictions) harm reduction service to this high-risk community.
针对加拿大当前的阿片类药物危机,在高风险社区建立安全注射服务(SIS)变得更加普遍。2017 年 11 月,加拿大渥太华的“房车”(The Trailer)投入使用,对客户的使用情况、过量用药治疗和逆转情况进行追踪。我们分析了 2017 年 11 月至 2018 年 8 月期间收集的数据。在高峰时段,服务需求持续超过“房车”的容量。在此期间,该设施治疗和逆转的过量用药数量大幅增加。结果表明,“房车”为这个高风险社区提供了一项重要但并非最佳的(由于空间限制)减少伤害服务。
