How substance use preferences and practices relate to fentanyl exposure among people who use drugs in Rhode Island, USA
Univariate analyses and CART modeling showed substantial variation in the presence of fentanyl in UDT among PWUD. Harm reduction services for people actively injecting drugs and drug checking programs based on capacity-building, empowerment, and targeted towards those not yet engaged in services are urgently needed to support PWUD in navigating the current volatile drug supply.
