Researchers say supervised consumption facilities would improve health of people who use drugs in Ottawa and Toronto

Toronto and Ottawa would both benefit from the creation of supervised injection facilities, according to research released today. Such facilities could improve the health and reduce harm among people who use drugs, and could also reduce public drug use, according to research led by Prof. Ahmed Bayoumi (Dept. of Medicine) of St. Michael’s Hospital and Dr. Carol Strike of the University of Toronto's Dalla Lana School of Public Health.
