Researchers looked at all studies that examined methamphetamine use and its impact on people who are using medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). The analysis compared people on MOUD who used methamphetamine and those who did not. All studies showed that patients were more likely to discontinue MOUD treatment if they used methamphetamine. Those who used methamphetamine more often were more likely to discontinue MOUD treatment than those who used it less often.

People who use drugs have lower vaccination uptake than the general population and experience a greater burden of harm from vaccine-preventable diseases. Researchers conducted interviews with people who use drugs to identify the factors that enable and deter them from getting vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus in Canada. They also looked at possible interventions to support their decision-making related to vaccination. Results showed that many partially or unvaccinated participants said they lacked knowledge about the COVID-19 vaccine, particularly its usefulness and benefits.
