New in @addictrestheory.bsky.social w. Luke, Katinka, and Jim. Who’s really keeping steroid consumers safe? Not healthcare. Not the law. Peers who cook & distribute steroids aren’t just suppliers—they’re harm reductionists. @griffithcmh.bsky.social @aivl.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/1606...

New paper! We examine the complexities of how ‘long-acting’ treatments are made to work over time, and argue for an adaptive and emergent conceptualisation of what ‘treatment retention’ can mean, reflective of how people connect with treatment and make it work, in practice. doi.org/10.1111/dar....

Turning to online communities for steroid advice is not unusual. Piatkowski says this can happen in an environment where there is widespread stigma […] we need open, nuanced and balanced discussions about these drugs. @theguardian.com @australia.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
