However, there is relatively scarce evidence regarding its economic returns in non-high-income countries. The current paper aims to evaluate an SBIRT program in Mexican primary health-care settings.
Methods
Empirical data was collected from 17 primary healthcare centres in Mexico City regarding alcohol screening delivered by 145 healthcare providers. This data was combined with data from a simulation...

Novel public health interventions are needed to address the toxic drug supply and meet the needs of people who use drugs amidst the overdose crisis.

Methods
Purposive sampling was used to recruit professional stakeholders (n = 17) from four locations in British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, including...

Arrière-plan
La prévalence des troubles liés à l’utilisation de substances est plus élevée chez les enfants ayant des démêlés avec la justice. Il est essentiel de s’assurer que les CIM qui signalent une utilisation actuelle sont orientés vers une évaluation du SUD et des services de traitement susceptibles de sauver des vies. Des recherches antérieures suggèrent que certains groupes minoritaires sont moins susceptibles d’avoir déjà été orientés vers un dépistage, et la recherche sur l’intersectionnalité suggère que ces disparités peuvent être exacerbées pour les femmes issues de minorités...
