Podcast Episode: How COVID-19 is Affecting Sex Workers and People Who Use Drugs

For third episode of our special series on the coronavirus crisis, we’re rebroadcasting an episode of Public Health on Call, a podcast produced by the Bloomberg School of Public Health that offers science and evidence-based insights on the novel coronavirus.

This episode—originally broadcast on May 21, 2020—focuses on harm reduction: how COVID-19 is impacting sex workers and people who use drugs, and why caring for these populations is so important.

It features a conversation between Colleen Barry, chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Bloomberg School, and Susan Sherman, a professor at the Bloomberg School whose work focuses on improving the health of marginalized populations, particularly that of drug users and sex workers.
