Using intervention mapping to develop ‘ROSE’: an intervention to support peer workers in overdose response settings

Abstract Background Peer workers (those with lived/living experience of substance use working in overdose response settings) are at the forefront of overdose response initiatives in British Columbia (BC). Working in these settings can be stressful, with lasting social, mental and emotional impacts....
