A message from Ron Merk Co-Chair – Port Alberni Community Action Team
“Hi Island CAT Teams 😊”
The British Medical Journal released a research paper yesterday – https://www.bmj.com/content/384/bmj-2023-076336 from BC – Safer supply trials/mortality rate reduction. The charts are incredible! (You’ll find a sharable link on our Port Alberni Facebook page. )
The Globe and Mail this morning is quoting this paper as a 61% reduction in mortality of people who were on the safer supply versus demographics that were not.
Effect of Risk Mitigation Guidance opioid and stimulant dispensations on mortality and acute care visits during dual public health emergencies: retrospective cohort study.
Please feel free to pass on!
