Objective
No data exist from PWID in Upstate New York, and little from outside major US urban centers, on willingness to use supervised injection facilities (SIFs) and associated factors.
Findings/Key points
Overall, 67.4% were willing to use SIFs, 18.3% unwilling, and 14.4% unsure. Among those reporting being willing or unwilling, we found higher willingness among those who were currently homeless, who had interacted with police in the past 12 months, and who were refused service within a healthcare setting.
Design/methods
Electronic questionnaire (n=285)
