Sofia Bartlett - Partnering with people in prison on research and co-creation of COVID-19 & harm reduction knowledge products

COVID-19 vaccine uptake has remained consistently 4-6 times lower among people in custody in BC provincial correctional centres, compared to people in the overall population in BC. To address this, we conducted a community-based, participatory study with people incarcerated in the 10 BC provincial correctional centres. In this study, we co-designed educational resources to address concerns identified by people who are incarcerated related to COVID-19 vaccines, COVID-19 testing, and impacts of the pandemic on the unregulated drug toxicity crisis. We will present an overview of the methodology employed, including learner analysis, the findings from the study, and knowledge products created.
