Patterns, circumstances and risk factors associated with non-fatal substance overdose in a cohort of homeless population: an observational study
With a high number of non-fatal overdoses within this population, identifying individuals at risk based on the factors identified in this research could enable primary care providers to apply prevention actions such as overdose awareness and naloxone provision to avoid drug harm and deaths. Future work should explore the role of chronic physical conditions and their treatment on non-fatal overdose risks.
