Research project

The Gender-ARP international research project (Canada, France, Belgium) aims to advance knowledge of how gender and life stages influence alcohol and drug use, health risks, recovery, and service utilization among people living with a psychoactive substance use problem.

Academic researchers, partners and psychoactive substances users lead the project.

.

Topics explored :

·       Use of alcohol and other drugs

·       Complex healthcare and social needs

·       Use of harm-reduction and addiction services

·       Gender and sexual orientation diversity

Getting involved

Various activities have been planned in Quebec, Belgium and France to involve both people who use alcohol or drugs and practice settings in the project, be it to share their experiences, give their opinion, or contribute to the development of guidelines.

These guidelines will serve to improve harm-reduction services and long-term, integrated, gender-sensitive treatments in order to meet the complex healthcare and social needs of people who use alcohol or drugs.

We wish to recruit 100 people 18 or over from all sexual orientations (e.g., heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, questioning) and gender identities (e.g., male, female, trans man, trans woman, non-binary, questioning) who use alcohol or drugs, to participate in an individual research interview.
