ABSTRACT The Northwest Territories, Canada, has high rates of alcohol- and drug-related hospitalisations and deaths. There is considerable debate over how to provide substance use recovery services in this region, due to its small, culturally diverse population. The aim of this study was to examine demographic differences in ethnicity, gender and sex for individuals in the barriers to accessing services, supports to stay in recovery, and reasons they struggled to stay in recovery.

Abstract How we think and feel about death and dying affects how we live our lives and our opportunities for healthy aging. This scoping review, using the PRISMA guidelines and drawing on the World Health Organizations public health framework for healthy aging, examined the personal, health and environmental factors associated with attitudes toward death and dying in persons 50 years and older.

Mark Tyndall: My interest would be to see if we can draw people out and say, “Look, we know you’re injecting by yourself, but what you’re using right now is highly unpredictable and potentially deadly. Here’s an option for you to come just to get the drugs and use them.” Then we could start a process of connecting with people that we didn’t even know existed.
