dc.descriptionThe use of opioids has a global impact on health risk. On the extreme end of the spectrum, some countries are experiencing a serious epidemic of opioid misuse with numerous fatal cases (e.g. in the United States and Canada). The COVID-19 pandemic also altered the pattern of opioid use and its associated health impacts. Understanding opioid usage, problems and associated health effects is crucial for medical treatment and reducing risk because of the inequity of opioid consumption and access globally. Notably, cultural norms and therapeutic approaches differ significantly in East Asian communities with dense populations (such as Hong Kong) from those in European and American countries. Opioid issues and their effects on health risks among these East Asian communities are typically underreported. As a result, this study uses the particular situation in Hong Kong as a case for global comparison.en_US
