Peer research with populations of people who use street tablets in areas over-represented by drug-related harms in the UK: a case study

Collaborating with the peer workforce in areas of high need relating to drug harms was an acceptable way of engaging some of the most vulnerable individuals at risk from mortality and morbidity in the research process. Our data highlights this population's complex, high-dose, polydrug use. There was an appetite to develop harm reduction interventions for illicit street tablet usage amongst the population sampled. Further work should develop tailored harm reduction advice for complex issues such as street tablets and opioid co-use.
