L’objectif
This paper examines the acquisition and dissemination of harm reduction information among people who inject drugs, as well as preferred sources of information.
Constatations/points à retenir
Two in five participants had recently obtained information about how to keep themselves safe while using drugs, with half sharing this information with their social network. Peer workers were the preferred source of information, suggesting that the peer educator workforce should be expanded to embrace the capacities and expertise of people who inject drugs.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
Data were obtained from 862 people who inject drugs, recruited from Australian capital cities for the 2021 Illicit Drug Reporting System.
