Abstract

Most opioid use disorder resources in Vermont are concentrated in Burlington. This project focused on harm reduction pertaining to the increase of xylazine-related fatalities in recent years. An educational brochure containing local test strip locations was created for the TCHC community and test strips were given to the office to raise awareness surrounding the opioid epidemic and the dangers of xylazine.
