Outpatient Care and Risk of Overdose in the 30 Days Following Release from Prison: Kate McLeod

Kate McLeod, Jane A. Buxton, Ehsan Karim, Ruth Elwood Martin, Amanda Slaunwhite In the weeks after release from prison, people are at a greatly increased risk of non-fatal and fatal overdose. Disruptions in healthcare are common during this transition from prison to community. We are completing a retrospective cohort study in the Provincial Overdose Cohort to examine the relationship between use of outpatient healthcare services in the 30 days following release from provincial prison and risk of overdose in this same time period.
