CEU Course Description
People who inject drugs (PWID) often have poor health and lack access to health care. This CEU course examines whether PWID engage in self-treatment through nonmedical prescription opioid use (NMPOU). Further, whether a history of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) enrollment is associated with a reduced odds of PWID providing injection initiation assistance is discussed. Finally, this course identifies socioeconomic factors associated with cessation of injection drug use among street-involved youth.
