L’objectif
The “Six Moments of Infection Prevention in Injection Drug Use” provider educational tool was developed using a global, rather than pathogen-specific, infection prevention framework, highlighting the prevention of invasive bacterial and fungal infections in additional to viral pathogens.
Constatations/points à retenir
After the training, 88.0% reported that they felt more comfortable educating PWID, 65 respondents (86.6%) reported they planned to use the Six Moments model in their own practice, and 100% said they would consider referring patients to a syringe service program in the future.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
The tool’s effectiveness was tested using a short, paired pre/post survey that assessed provider knowledge and attitudes about harm reduction (n=75).
