L’objectif
The purpose of this narrative review is to summarize existing harm reduction strategies in the United States and elsewhere and to describe how outcomes of these strategies could be assessed.
Constatations/points à retenir
Outcomes besides abstinence that could be considered include reductions in substance use patterns that are associated with a high likelihood of negative consequences (e.g., solitary use and polydrug use), reductions in severity of opioid use disorder or early remission of opioid use disorder, improved quality of life and psychological health, improvements in community functioning including linkage and adherence to treatment, and reductions in the incidence of infectious disease.
