We'd be so grateful if you can contribute to this international effort. All details in the thread below. Thanks a million in advance!
Less than a week left to get involved! ⏰ If you work in, use or design OPCs, DCRs, or SCSs, or work in a position directly related to their outcomes, eg: emergency service personnel, public health practitioner or policymaker, then you are exactly who we are looking for! 🚨1/4

Do you work in, use or design overdose prevention centres? Do you work in a position directly related to the outcomes of OPCs (emergency service personnel, public health practitioner or policymaker?)? Well if so, you are exactly who we are looking for! 🚨1/3
