International Overdose Awareness Day

Karen Belanger - 31 August 2022

Annually, August 31 is known as International Overdose Awareness Day, a day that we pause to remember those who have died from an overdose and with their loved ones, to share in the grief of their loss. We also recognize the many who continue to live with the stigma associated with having a family member or friend die from an overdose.  

According to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in their 2021 World Drug Report, approximately 62 million people (or 1.2% of the global population) used opioids for non-medical purposes in 2019. In the U.S., over 100,000 people died from...

Positive Workplace Drugs Tests Escalate

Karen Belanger - 17 August 2022

Data from the Quest Diagnostics 2022 Drug Testing Index (DTI)(le lien est externe) has shown that positive workplace drug tests have continued to escalate. This increase mirrors results of other national surveys, such as the U.S. National Survey on Drug Use and Health(le lien est externe), that indicate the overall use of drugs increased last year.  The DTI findings revealed that the level of positive drug tests was up 4.6% for 2021 versus 4.4% the prior year.  This overall number is up more that 30% from the historic low of 3.5% in their 2010-2012 analysis.

Tobacco Use in the Workplace: Research and Resources

Karen Belanger - 23 July 2022

According to the World Health Organization, the tobacco epidemic has tremendously impacted global public health with more than 8 million deaths per year and another 1.2 million deaths due to second-hand smoke.

With over 1.3 billion tobacco users, more than 80% reside in low to middle income countries that bear the burden of illness and mortality from its use. Tobacco use contributes to poverty through diversion of household spending to tobacco rather than food or shelter.

The economic costs of tobacco use are considerable and includes healthcare and loss of productivity. In fact, research at...

Make Your Drug Free Workplace Recovery Friendly

Karen Belanger - 31 May 2022

As resources are devoted to help mitigate and abate the opioid crisis, attention has been given to the workplace.  Helping people in recovery regain a healthy lifestyle, in part through regaining consistent supportive employment is an important aspect of one’s recovery journey. A drug free workplace typically provides many needed supports such as structure for all workers to remain drug and alcohol free while at work, provides guidance for supervisory staff on managing the program, and education on the issues of substance use and misuse and its effects to the workplace.

Augmentation de la consommation de substances pandémiques observée dans les emplois non pourvus

Karen Belanger - 5 mai 2022

L’augmentation de la consommation de substances illicites, en particulier d’opioïdes et de fentanyl, ainsi qu’une augmentation des décès dus à ces drogues pendant la pandémie semblent expliquer une baisse de la participation au marché du travail comprise entre 7 % et 19 % sur une réduction globale de 9 % à 26 %. Les États-Unis ne se sont toujours pas complètement remis de cette baisse. Selon une étude menée en 2022 par le National Bureau of Economic Research, ce ralentissement de l’emploi actif pour le groupe d’âge le plus élevé des 25-54 ans a été observé entre février 2020 et juin 2021.
