- W4256013872 abstract "Abstract Background Peer assistance is an emerging area of study in intravenous drug use. When Canada’s first supervised consumption site (SCS) opened in 2003 in Vancouver, BC, clients were prohibited from injecting their peers; only recently has this practice been introduced as a harm reduction measure at these sites. In Alberta, a government-sanctioned SCS recently received federal exemption to allow peer-assisted injection in their facility, under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Literature pertaining to peer-assisted injection, while scant, addresses several topics: interpersonal relationships between the injector and recipient; the roles of ritual and pragmatism; and gender inequality. Methods In this qualitative, descriptive study, participants were interviewed about their experiences in a peer-assist program at an SCS regulated by Health Canada. Results Participants expressed being moved by compassion to help others inject. While their desire to assist was pragmatic, they felt a significant burden of responsibility for the outcomes. Other prominent factors were social connection, trust, safety, social capital, and reciprocity. Participants also made suggestions for improving the peer-assist program. Conclusions These findings reveal the humanity within a cohort of at-risk individuals, often dehumanized at the societal level. Relational equity and mutuality were evident, in contrast to other studies. Regular use of the SCS, and access to its resources, enabled participants to make healthier choices and practise lower-risk injections. At the federal level, there is considerable room to advocate for allowing clients to divide drugs safely within the SCS, and to increase capacity for safer alternatives such as inhalation." @default.
