Non-fatal drug overdose among people who inject drugs in Baltimore

This dataset includes a subset of data collected through the Johns Hopkins University social network-based intervention study CHAMPS CONNECT conducted in Baltimore, Maryland. A total of 111 people who inject drugs (PWID) were recruited from an infectious disease clinic and community-based sites in Baltimore between 1/25/2018 and 1/4/2019. Index members were 18 years of age or older, English speaking, hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive, and reported injecting drugs with another during the past year. Indexes were asked to recruit their injection drug network members for HCV testing and linkage to care. The primary objective of the secondary study was to analyze data from indexes and network participant members to assess psychological factors that may be significantly associated with self-reported number of lifetime drug overdoses. Variables in the dataset include demographics, employment, substance use history and treatment, mental health diagnoses and treatment, overdose, injection drug use, and questions from the Center of Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale.
