Characterising the increasing prevalence of crystal methamphetamine use in Vancouver, Canada, from 2006–2017: A gender‐based analysis

Abstract

These findings demonstrate the rising prevalence of reported crystal methamphetamine use in Vancouver in a cohort with high rates of polysubstance use. This work highlights drug and sex-related risk behaviours associated with crystal methamphetamine use for both genders, and underscores the need to develop strategies to address the growing use of crystal methamphetamine.
