Drug-Policy Implication Study

We are planning to implement a policy, however before we do we would like to understand the expected implications of it within this population. This way, we will be able to mitigate any risks that the policy may pose by making adjustments before it is implemented. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Identifying similar policies that have been implemented in other populations. Comparing our policy to other policies and researching the implications that they have had. Conducting interviews with people in the populations affected by these similar policies. Identifying risks and effects that are created by our policy. Creating recommendations on how we could change or improve our policy to make it as effective as possible.

J-Health is doing very important work and can use all the support they can get-- but the project experience could have been better in terms of responsiveness to student requests and client engagement. There was a lot that the students could do, and given that they had limited guidance and communication with the partner was somewhat challenging, the students ended up with a great project (in terms of the quality of their research and recommendations) but one that may not ultimately serve the client well, which was disappointing.

I have really enjoyed working on the Evidence Based Drug Information project and felt that I learned a lot about knowledge translation specifically for harm reduction strategies and how it should be catered to substance users in an approachable, friendly way so that it is not intimidating to use!
