The combined impacts of toxic drug use and the 2021 Heat Dome in Canada: A thematic analysis of online news media articles. by Emily J Tetzlaff, Nicholas Goulet, Melissa Gorman, Glen P Kenny

“…<h4>Results</h4>Four main themes were identified within our media-based analysis: (I) the reported impact of toxic drug use on human thermoregulation and behavioural adaptation; (II) the reported demand of intersecting crises on the health system; (III) barriers and stigma reported to influence an individual's access to or use of heat mitigation behaviours and services; and (IV) the reported impact of extreme heat on the public health response to drug poisoning emergencies.<h4>Conclusion</h4>With increasing temperature extremes and a rising tide of toxic drug use and overdoses, our findings illustrate that there is a need for further research to better understand the combined impacts when toxic drug use, overdose-related deaths, and extreme heat coincide.…”
