Determining the impact of health service utilisation on opioid overdose incidence among people who inject drugs

在澳大利亚，阿片类药物过量的比率正在上升，注射吸毒者（PWID）是一个关键的风险群体。本研究的总体目标是确定与阿片类药物过量相关的风险和保护因素，以便为政府投资于pwid特定的卫生服务提供信息，降低与过量相关的危害水平，并减少澳大利亚与过量相关的死亡。自我报告和关联数据的混合将用于分析哪些服务在预防过量用药方面做得更好。

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.
