An Ethnographic Assessment of COVID-19-Related Changes to the Risk Environment for People Who Use Drugs in Tijuana, Mexico

Joseph Friedman et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people who use drugs (PWUD) in Tijuana, Mexico. The initial lockdown led to a decrease in police violence and extortion, and temporary housing and treatment were provided for PWUD with COVID-19 symptoms. However, non-COVID-19-related healthcare became inaccessible, resulting in untreated chronic illnesses and deaths among PWUD. Border closures and reduced social interaction worsened food, income, and housing insecurity, but access to illicit drugs remained relatively easy.

They say it's fentanyl, but they honestly look like Perc 30s: Initiation and use of counterfeit fentanyl pills

Raminta Daniulaityte et al.

Summary: This qualitative study explores the motivations and practices of individuals using illicit opioids in Arizona regarding their initiation and use of counterfeit non-pharmaceutical fentanyl (NPF) pills. The study finds that the availability of counterfeit NPF pills has significantly increased in recent years. Participants reported trying NPF pills when access to heroin or pharmaceutical opioids was limited. Their decisions to switch to NPF pill use or continue using heroin were influenced by local drug availability trends, personal experiences with NPF effects, and conflicting views on the social acceptability of pharmaceutical-like drugs.
