点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The rate of opioid overdose is rising in Australia, with people who inject drugs (PWID) a key risk group. The overall aim of this study is to identify risk and protective factors related to opioid overdose in order to inform government investment into PWID-specific health services, reduce the levels of harms connected to overdose and result in less overdose-related deaths in Australia. A mix of self-report and linked data will be used to analyse which services are better at preventing overdose.
