Abstract
Introduction
Alcohol screening, brief advice and referral to treatment (SBIRT) in primary health care is an effective strategy to decrease alcohol consumption at population level. However, there is relatively scarce evidence regarding its economic returns in non-high-income countries. The current paper aims to evaluate an SBIRT program in Mexican primary health-care settings.
Methods
Empirical data was collected from 17 primary healthcare centres in Mexico City regarding alcohol screening delivered by 145 healthcare providers. This data was combined with data from a simulation...

Background
Novel public health interventions are needed to address the toxic drug supply and meet the needs of people who use drugs amidst the overdose crisis. Safer supply – low-barrier distribution of pharmaceutical grade substances – has been implemented in some jurisdictions to provide safer alternatives to the unregulated drug supply, yet no studies to date have explored professional stakeholder perspectives on this approach.
Methods
Purposive sampling was used to recruit professional stakeholders (n = 17) from four locations in British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, including...

د عدالت ښکیل ماشومانو (JIC) په مینځ کې د موادو کارولو اختلال (SUD) لوړه کچه شتون لری. دا خورا مهم دی چې ډاډ ترلاسه شی چې JIC څوک چې د اوسنی کارونې راپور ورکوی د SUD ارزونې او احتمالی ژوند ژغورنې درملنې خدماتو لپاره راجع کیږی. مخکینی څیړنې وړاندیز کوی چې ځینې اقلیتونه ممکن لږ احتمال ولری چې د سکرینینګ لپاره راجع شوی وی ، او د تقاطع په اړه څیړنې وړاندیز کوی چې دا توپیرونه ممکن د نژادی اقلیتونو میرمنو لپاره نور هم خراب شی.

Background
COVID-19 dramatically limited the scale and scope of local health department (LHD) work, redirecting resources to the response. However, the need for essential public health services—including substance use prevention—was not reduced.
Methods
Six quantitative data sources were examined, collected between 2016 and 2021, to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on LHD substance use-related services.
Results
Before the pandemic, the proportion of LHDs providing some level of substance use prevention services was increasing, and many were expanding their level of provision...
The Canadian Community Epidemiology Network on Drug Use (CCENDU) is a pan-Canadian network of community partners co-ordinated by the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA). The network has sites in British Columbia, Manitoba, Thunder Bay, Toronto, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
In April 2019, CCENDU published a bulletin on changes in stimulant use and related harms, which focused on methamphetamine and cocaine* based on data collected by CCENDU sites in November 2018: Changes in Stimulant Use and Related Harms: Focus on Methamphetamine and Cocaine.1 The...

BACKGROUND:
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) generate an aerosol by vaporising e-liquids that usually consist of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG), and other ingredients (water, nicotine, and flavours). The chemical and physical properties of these components have a significant effect on aerosol formation and must be identified in order to improve product attractiveness and assess the degree of health risks.
AIM:
The aim of this article is to provide a description of the composition of the e-liquid base and its impact on the physical properties of the liquid used...
Canada’s Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines were originally published by CCSA in November 2011 and were the result of the work of alcohol research experts in Canada. Since then, substantial new research on the association between alcohol use and physical, mental and social harms has been completed. Many countries have updated their guidance on drinking to reflect these advancements in what is known about the risks and benefits associated with alcohol consumption.
The report is composed of three documents: the Public Summary, the Technical Summary and the Technical Report.
