New in @LancetChildAdol - #peptides
@kyletganson @jasonmnagata and I discuss the growing use of injectable synthetic peptides among young people. We outline priorities for clinicians, regulation, and prevention.

Wave 3 (n=105 samples) from our World First Steroid Checking Trial @Sage_Publishing: 22% mislabelled 50% underdosed. Health behaviour change (n=117px) was driven by quality concern.

New @tandfonline w. @DomDeAndrade @drmdunn1 & David.
Among men who use steroids (n=273), younger men reported higher aggression, with aggression decreasing with age.
Age matters — harm reduction needs to reflect that

Harm reduction wasn’t built with steroids in mind. Our new paper argues it’s time to rethink policy and health responses for people who use steroids.

New collab in @tandfonline led by Mostafa
Key findings:
• IPED equipment access declined post-COVID
• Younger people (18–24) show rising initiation
• Regional services recovered faster than metro sites
We need alternative service delivery models

Here in Australia our unregulated peptide market represents a HUGE problem, particularly for our young people.

New Collab in @ijdrugpolicy
Thanks to funding from @QLDInjectors and QuIHN, we interviewed 30 PWIDs who were recently incarcerated in QLD - Aus.
These accounts demonstrate how QLD prisons actively reproduce BBV & bacterial infection risk among PWIDs.

New collab in @APSAD_DAR with the awesome Raphael Magnolini.
This is based on insights from our Aus + Swiss steroid checking programs. Together, we argue for global action on steroid checking, peer led education, and evidence-based clinical pathways.

Lived-living experiences exchanges are now live for the AOD sector - we look forward to qualitative researchers adopting our best practice model.
