Center on Substance Use and Health (CSUH)
The Center on Substance Use and Health (CSUH) works on a variety of projects with the goal of improving health among people who use substances in San Francisco. CSUH investigates pharmacologic and behavioral interventions to maximize the health outcomes of people who use alcohol, methamphetamine, opioids, and other drugs, including the reduction of HIV transmission; conducts observational studies of patients with chronic pain and opioid use; and studies substance use-related morbidity and mortality. This work complements other HIV activities at the San Francisco Department of Public Health and benefits our community by generating new prevention strategies tailored to the local epidemic.
