Pandemic era impacts on drug overdoses and suicides / prepared by: Larry Motiuk and Kent Merlin.: PS82-4/22-15E-PDF

"Over the course of five fiscal years, marked by the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-21 and 2021-22, the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) experienced a substantial decline (-1,392 or 10.1 %) in the federal in-custody population from 13,720 at year-end in 2019-20 to 12,328 in 2021-22. Exploring the differential impacts of the pandemic era on behaviours of concern such as overdosing and suicidal behaviour helps to better inform and improve active intervention strategies"--Why we are doing this study, page [1].
