'It's our safe sanctuary': Experiences of using an unsanctioned overdose prevention site in Toronto, Ontario.

TL;DR: SisterSpace demonstrates the value and effectiveness of initiatives that engage with socio-structural factors beyond the often narrow focus of overdose prevention and that account for the complex social relations that constitute such initiatives.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that SCSs can be a bridge to rebuilding service users' connections with the healthcare system and an important service in efforts to prevent unsheltered homelessness.

TL;DR: In the early 2000s, increasing prevalence of psycho-stimulant (e.g., crack/cocaine, methamphetamine) use and related harms, including severe adverse health outcomes, was observed among marginalized populations of persons using illicit drugs in North America, underscoring an urgent need for interventions options towards improved prevention and treatment as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present findings from a scoping review of qualitative studies on experiences of PWUD with SCS published between 1997 and 2022, and discuss the primary facilitators and barriers of SCS use and conclude with suggestions to inform future qualitative research, SCS implementation and PWUD-centered approaches to drug policy.

TL;DR: It is argued that much of the most needed 'structural HIV prevention' is unavoidably political in that it calls for community actions and structural changes within a broad framework concerned to alleviate inequity in health, welfare and human rights.

TL;DR: The challenge is to generate empirical and theoretical work which encompasses both 'determined' and 'productive' relations of risk across social structures and everyday practices.

TL;DR: SISs have largely fulfilled their initial objectives without enhancing drug use or drug trafficking, and the implementation of new SISs in places with high rates of injection drug use and associated harms appears to be supported by evidence.
