Article Synopsis
- Many people who use substances face challenges in accessing healthcare, often leading them to rely on emergency departments (EDs) for their health needs, highlighting significant health inequities.
- This qualitative study, part of a broader research project in Kingston, Ontario, involved 246 participants who self-identified as substance users and shared their ED experiences through a thematic analysis.
- Key findings indicate that negative perceptions of care were influenced by patients' histories with substances and social stigma, while timely care and adequate mental health resources were crucial for positive care experiences and trust in ED staff.
