L’objectif
The goal of the Best Practice Recommendations is to improve the effectiveness of programs that deliver harm reduction supplies to people who use drugs and are at risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C (HCV), hepatitis B (HBV), overdose and other harms.
Constatations/points à retenir
These updated recommendations are a tool to transfer knowledge to develop, review, redesign, and evaluate programs. We hope to enable programs to use evidence to move towards best practices, if these are not already in place. While the ideal program would distribute all the supplies covered in the 2021 edition, an inability to do so should not be used to discourage development and implementation to the best of a program’s ability
