Supporting the full participation of people who use drugs in policy fora: Provision of a temporary, conference-based overdose prevention site.

The overdose epidemic in North America remains acute and interventions are needed to mitigate harm and prevent death.

However, little guidance exists on how to best ensure the safety of PWUD during conferences.
