Illicit drug toxicity from opioid, stimulant or sedative use in adolescents: results of a Canadian one-time cross-sectional study
A considerable proportion of respondents provided care for illicit drug toxicity over 24 months. This contrasts with a relatively low level of awareness of services for substance use in this population. Further research and education can support patients and physicians alike in the care of adolescent illicit drug toxicity.
