UK. QMJC August 2021: Drug fatalities and treatment fatalism: Complicating the ageing cohort theory
The Qualitative Methods Journal Club discuss a paper that rethinks the assumed causal link between age and drug-related deaths. The study draws on the experiences of 15 older people based in South London, who had been using heroin for more than twenty years. The findings add a fresh perspective to the conversation about drug-related deaths, turning attention away from inherent vulnerabilities in the individual to flaws in the treatment system.
