Presumed Mode of Use Among Confirmed and Probable Opioid Toxicity Deaths In Ontario, 2018–2024
Presumed mode of use is based on substance use equipment found at the scene (location of incident/death). Substance use equipment found at the scene may provide proxy information for potential mode of drug use, but may also reflect previous modes of use, or substance use equipment that was used by someone else. Other drug paraphernalia besides a syringe, pipe and foil may have been found at scene (e.g., pill crusher, cooker, grinder, spoon). When no pipe, foil or evidence of injection was present, mode may include oral, nasal, transdermal, other or unknown.
These data include confirmed and probable opioid toxicity deaths. Includes cases with ongoing investigations, with information pending.
