 zed and 36\,442 died from opioid-poisoning (Quebec excluded). As part of t
 he public health response\, supervised consumption sites (SCS) were implem
 ented to mitigate the harms of illicit substance use. While some researche
 rs have concluded these harm reduction sites reduce mortality and health s
 ervice use\, they remain politically controversial. The effects of supervi
 sed consumption site and their variants (e.g.\, overdose prevention sites\
 , consumption and treatment services) remain unclear\, particularly in con
 texts where the population is geographically diffuse\, services are not re
 stricted to people who inject drugs\, mobile rather than fixed sites opera
 te\, and other interventions (e.g.\, drug checking\, naloxone dispensation
 ) are concomitantly implemented. In this talk\, I will present our latest 
 findings evaluating the effects of supervised consumption sites across a v
 ariety of Canadian settings and contexts.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nBy the
  end of this session\, attendees will:\n\n\n	Have a better understanding of
  econometric methods they can use to evaluate public health interventions\
 ;\n	Become acquainted with underused data sources\;\n	Understand the ethical
  challenges of evaluating politicized interventions.\n\n\nSpeaker Bio\n\nD
 imitra Panagiotoglou is a health services researcher and economist focused
  on the impacts of harm reduction interventions and opioid prescribing pol
 icies on populations’ health and well-being. She designs studies that quan
 tify the intended and unintended consequences of provincial and federal re
 sponses to the opioid epidemic\, with an interest in the spillover effects
  on other populations. Her work is supported by the Canadian Institutes of
  Health Research\, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council\, and F
 onds de recherche du Québec. She has a BASc in mechanical engineering from
  the University of Toronto\, an MPH in epidemiology from Columbia\, and a 
 PhD in health services and policy research from the University of British 
 Columbia.\n\n \n
