Summary

The Downtown Eastside (DTES) of Vancouver, Canada has been the epicentre of HIV, hepatitis C and drug overdose related to People who inject drugs (PWIDs) since the mid1990s. In response to the growing government inaction, numbers of peer-run organizations were formed. This dissertation was conducted to capture the genesis and influence of peer drug users, their networks and harm reduction programs over the past 18 years in shaping the neighborhood.
