Nonfatal Overdose Among a Cohort of Street-Involved Youth

Limited data exist concerning patterns of nonfatal illicit drug overdoses among street-involved youth. We therefore evaluated factors associated with nonfatal overdose among a cohort of street-involved youth in Vancouver, Canada. Our findings indicate that nonfatal overdose was common among street-involved youth in our setting, and was associated with various forms of drug use, including methamphetamine use.
