Dear HIFA colleagues,
On behalf of the HIFA working group on opioids we are seeking one or more volunteers with experience in opioid use disorders for brief interviews.
A few days ago HIFA member Fatima Anwar, a Public Health Advocate at YOUNGO, Pakistan, expressed an interest to run virtual interviews with health professionals with experience of managing patients with opioid addiction.

Fatima has now joined our HIFA working group on opioids and we would like to collaborate with Fatima for additional input into our discussion.
As interviewee, you and Fatima would select perhaps two or three questions from our background paper (https://www.hifa.org/sites/default/files/articles/Opioids-10Qs.pdf). After the interview Fatima would prepare a summary of the interview for your review and approval. We would then circulate the summary on the HIFA forum for further discussion on the issues.
If you have experience in opioid use disorders and are willing to have a short virtual interview (20-30 minutes) with Fatima, please let us know and we shall arrange this in the coming days.
If you are willing to consider this, please contact: neil@hifa.org and/or fatima370anwar@gmail.com by Thursday 23 April
Many thanks, Neil
