L’objectif

Although the presence of sites in neighborhoods can be controversial, few studies have assessed the preferences of individuals for attributes of safe consumption sites.

Constatations/points à retenir

Respondents had negative preferences for sites that increased cost to the healthcare system. Conversely, they had positive preferences for sites that would reduce fatal overdoses, that could reduce improperly discarded needles, and sites that provided compensation to those impacted by the establishment of sites.
