The Unconference Report: A Community-Led Conversation about Substance Use, Harm Reduction, and Recovery Research in Rhode Island

COBRE investigators joined researchers and community members on Thursday, March 7, 2024 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM for an “Unconference: A Community-Led Conversation about Substance Use, Harm Reduction and Recovery Research in Rhode Island.” The “Unconference” was the culmination of years of work on the part of advocates to bring together people who use drugs (PWUD), recovery advocates, community organizations, researchers, and academic administrators in an ongoing dialogue to chart a path forward for the community’s rightful co-ownership of the research agenda. The report from this effort can be found here.
