Biography

Sarah Larney is an Associate Professor at the University of Montreal and an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC), University of New South Wales. Her research primarily focuses on issues related to injecting drug use, including the health complications that arise from injection, such as HIV and hepatitis infections, bacterial infections, and injecting injuries. She is dedicated to generating high-quality epidemiological data on these problems both in Australia and internationally. Dr. Larney aims to utilize this data to enhance the safety and efficiency of responses to injecting drug use, while also developing new strategies to address overlooked harms, like skin infections that result from injecting. Her current work incorporates global systematic reviews to estimate the prevalence of injecting drug use and the incidence of HIV and viral hepatitis among people who inject drugs. Additionally, she is involved in studies assessing the feasibility and acceptability of providing take-home naloxone to individuals leaving custody in New South Wales, as well as data linkage studies that examine the outcomes of opioid substitution therapy.
