Summary
This study looks at whether having peer support workers—people who have personally used drugs—in the emergency department can make patients who use drugs feel more comfortable and less likely to leave before their treatment is done. About 3,181 adults visiting the ER at Vancouver General Hospital will be included. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helps reduce the number of patients who leave early, which can be dangerous.
