Table 2 Behavior change as reported by the 15 participants in phase two

From: Expanding harm reduction to include fentanyl urine testing: results from a pilot in rural British Columbia

Any changes in drug use?

Comment

No

But got some naloxone

But have more awareness to test my stuff

But I have been using less b/c out of money and no supply

Dope is really weak here and I don’t use alone

I only use pharm morphine and I won’t buy anything else

Test was negative and always careful

Usually use alone. I use morphine cause I know what I’m getting

Carry naloxone kit and worry all the time

Dope is really weak here and I don’t use alone

Yes

Did it one more time. Starting treatment

Didn’t do the fentanyl we tested. Don’t use alone and injecting less

I haven’t done any drugs since. I got scared. I have a drug counsellor now.

Yes - made me more careful. Completely avoid fentanyl

More careful about what I buy. But still use b/c I still have same problems

Slowed my use
