This is awesome! So proud to part of this amazing UCSF Dept. of Family & Community Medicine department.

In this era of rising #overdose from #polydrug use esp combos of #fentanyl and #methamphetamine, it is crucial to understand the perspectives of those that use. Proud of this new pub from my #SYNC (Synthetics in Combination) team. @jondocsin is lead. harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Proud to be a part of this historic and successful department!

"Now is the time to up our ante. We probably have a population that is getting tired of the fentanyl, or even of the speedball, so open up the gates, get more treatment options." Dan Ciccarone on polysubstance use quoted in current ADAW.

Dan Ciccarone With @jondocsin and coauthors: study that came out Wednesday interviewing the SSP participants who used speedballs on why/why not. harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Our new paper published today: major increase in #fentanyl seizures through 2023 and half of seizures are now in pill form. Over 115 million pills seized in 2023 NIDAnews NDEWS NYU Langone Health Linda B. Cottler Nicole Fitzgerald, PhD Dan Ciccarone sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our new findings covered on Good Morning America this morning. More than half of #fentanyl seizures are now in pill form Good Morning America NIDAnews NDEWS NYU Langone Health Linda B. Cottler Nicole Fitzgerald, PhD Dan Ciccarone goodmorningamerica.com/wellness/video…

Good news! The immediate reason for the drop may be the crackdown on the #fentanyl trade by a Mexican cartel. That's likely unsustainable so hopefully other factors are at work, eg, the long anticipated burnout of this epidemic dennis cauchon Dan Ciccarone harmreductionohio.org/ohio-overdose-…

STUDY: #Fentanyl residue in smoking equipment poses fatal overdose risk. “The risk of overdose when sharing smoking devices with fentanyl resin could be seen as analogous to the risk of shared injection paraphernalia and HIV transmission,” -Dan Ciccarone bit.ly/3QUHs4B

“Harm reduction-based and culturally attuned education campaigns need to be rapidly advanced to address this new risk.” Other PLOS One paper UC San Francisco co-authors: Nicole Holm, @jondocsin, Jason Fessel, Sarah Mars #harmreduction

Our paper on fentanyl smoking has these main findings: 1. folks strongly believe that smoking is safer 2. however, some use rapid techniques that simulate the bolus of injection 3. the resin left over is a huge concern for accidental exposure 4. hunch: smoking goes national!
