IHRAs overdose collection

The International Harm Reduction Association (IHRA) have released another of their wonderful '50 best' collections. This time its the 50 best on Overdose.

As always the IHRA team have done an great job of collecting together the best research and articles available, essential reading for anyone either working in drug service or using these substances. Here is a quote from the introduction.

Overdose is a risk when using many psychoactive drugs – but is much more common for some drugs (such as opioids) than others (such as cannabis and nicotine). It is especially common for people who use combinations of substances, and those who inject drugs. This collection focuses predominantly on illicit drug use, as this is the area in which overdose prevention efforts have concentrated. In many ways, overdose prevention is a quintessential harm reduction approach.
