| Description | Journal: Drug and Alcohol Dependence Vancouver, Canada is experiencing an opioid overdose crisis where fentanyl, a potent, synthetic opioid contaminating the illicit drug supply, has been detected in the majority of fatal overdose cases.

We sought to identify the prevalence and correlates of fentanyl exposure among PWUD in Vancouver. |
