Harm reduction saves lives by reducing overdoses, preventing disease, and connecting people to care. Abstinence-only fails substance users, with higher rates of illness, overdose, and relapse.

Indigenous communities are disproportionately affected by the opioid crisis due to discrimination and culturally inappropriate treatment. Harm reduction saves lives and can help preserve cultural identity.

You don’t have to approve of substance use to support harm reduction. You just have to care whether people live or die.

Harm reduction is risk management, not endorsement.

My #introduction to #mastodon:

I'm a biostatistician researching #statistics #biostatistics #epidemiology #publichealth. I primarily work on #bayesian methods for spatio-temporal & environmental #epi and #publichealth surveillance -- often for overcoming challenges related to imperfect data & small areas.

Most of my work is in #substanceuse & the opioid syndemic #hiv #HCV #overdose.

I've also been working on disease mapping models for environmental exposures associated with #ClimateChange.
