L’objectif
This study examined the perspectives of leadership and staff from a geographically diverse sample of US syringe services programs (SSPs) on factors contributing to the overdose surge, their organization’s response, and ongoing barriers to preventing overdose death.
Constatations/points à retenir
SSPs remain essential in preventing overdose deaths amid record numbers likely driven by increased fentanyl use and COVID-19-related impacts. These findings can inform efforts to support SSPs in this work. In the face of ongoing barriers, support for SSPs—including increased resources, political support, and community partnership—is urgently needed to address the worsening overdose crisis.
