Making all CCSA Publications Fully Accessible

You may have noticed a new pop-up on the CCSA website when trying to access PDFs.

This is a temporary process as we work to ensure all publications meet the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) standards.

We are working to update more than 700 publications, in both official languages, which will take time. We have begun with our most recent and popular publications.

AODA-compliant publications will be posted to the CCSA website as they’re updated.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to ensure everyone can access information about substance use, addiction and health.

If you have any questions about this initiative, please email us at AODA-requests@ccsa.ca.

Thank you.

Calling 911 in Drug Poisoning Situations (CCENDU Bulletin)

Publication date: 2017
Author: Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction

Summarizes Canadian rates of calling 9-1-1 in drug poisoning situations, which greatly impacts the probability of surviving a drug-related overdose. This bulletin shows that the primary reason for not calling 9-1-1 for opioid overdose situations was concern about police involvement and arrest.
