Culturally tailored care for South Asian people who use substances
In this episode of the Addiction Practice Pod, journalist David Ball and addiction medicine physician, Dr. Nitasha Puri, discuss the importance of culturally tailored care, drawing on Dr. Puri’s research and experiences from working at Roshni Clinic, which provides care for South Asian adults in Surrey, BC. David and Dr. Puri also speak with Anmol Swaich, a researcher and community organizer with the Surrey Union of Drug Users about the historical context of drug policy and drug criminalization in BC, and its impacts on South Asian communities. Additionally, they talk with Robin, a member of the South Asian Committee with the Surrey Union of Drug Users, about her experiences accessing substance use care as a South Asian woman and what care providers can learn from her journey.
