Excited to see evidence supporting what we've always known: OPCs are good for communities, don't increase crime, and save lives! #harmreduction

Congratulations to Elizabeth Nesoff, PhD, MPH, for two recent accomplishments, receiving an award from NIH and publishing an article on her research in opioids and harm reduction. Learn more about both in the thread below! #opioids #harmreduction

In partnership with the DBEI, the Master of Public Health program is offering a new #Epidemiology track to address the need for experts who can approach complex health issues from an epidemiological perspective. Learn more about this exciting opportunity: bit.ly/4a2r1Lv

In 2022, there were 3,026 overdose deaths in NYC and 81% involved fentanyl. Knowing if the drugs you plan to use contain fentanyl can lower your risk of overdose. Find free fentanyl test strips near you: on.nyc.gov/3XlB1sV

A new video by @NowThisNews discusses our overdose prevention centers and findings that OPCs do not contribute to an increase in crime. Despite preventing over 1,000 overdoses, #harmreduction continues to face resistance.

A study led by Elizabeth D. Nesoff, PhD, MPH evaluated change in distance to opioid overdose prevention programs (OOPPs) across two time points in NYC. Community naloxone access through OOPPs improved and could lead to decrease in overdoses in the future. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Naloxone access is critical in the fight against opioid overdoses. Despite improvements, more work is needed to ensure it's available in all high-risk areas of NYC. Read more about the work of LDI Fellows @TheLizN & Zachary Meisel in a new blog: ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/resea…

Researchers recognize the harms of stigmatizing language in substance use research, but it remains too common. A new Columbia Epidemiology study finds usage dropped from 54% in 2013 to 25% in 2023, yet institutions can do more to eliminate it. ow.ly/P0c850V1X3J
