Promises and pitfalls of safer smoking supply distribution in the United States: a thematic analysis of open-ended survey questions from harm reduction organizations Open
Background With rising prevalence of smoking unregulated drugs across the United States, there is a need for more community-based distribution of safer smoking supplies (e.g., glass pipes) to reduce health harms for people who smoke drugs.…

Predictors of COVID-19 vaccine uptake and preferences for service delivery among people who inject drugs accessing a syringe service program Open
Introduction People who inject drugs (PWID) have lower rates of COVID-19 vaccine uptake, despite being disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple implementation adaptations have been proposed to address this gap, includ…
