Abstract
⺠We interviewed current injection drug users in urban and non-urban Atlantic Canada. ⺠Non-urban IDUs described more challenges in accessing clean injecting equipment. ⺠Poor access to syringes and information was linked to unsafe injection and disposal. ⺠Urban IDUs had better access to other supports offered by harm reduction agencies. ⺠Non-urban IDUs face a critical lack of non-stigmatizing spaces and services.
