L’objectif
We assessed the relationship between distribution of safer smoking supplies by syringe services programs (SSPs) and levels of participant engagement and naloxone distribution.
Constatations/points à retenir
Findings showed SSPs distributing safer smoking pipes had more participant engagement and naloxone distribution. To maximize their full individual and population-level health benefits, SSPs should be supported technically, legally, and financially to implement safer smoking supply distribution for their participants.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
We used data from the 2023 National Survey of Syringe Services Programs (N=429), which measured services delivered in 2022. SSPs reported whether they distributed safer smoking pipes (yes/no). We examined the relationship between safer smoking pipe distribution and two outcomes: the number of participant encounters and naloxone doses distributed.
