Objective

We conducted a scoping review of feasibility studies reporting on preferred SCS design characteristics, staffing models and ancillary services.

Findings/Key points

Most reported preferences for SCS location, hours and wait times. Few reported preferences for security, space allocation by type of drug use, and onsite opioid prescribing. PWUD generally preferred aligning design elements with the goal of harm reduction for clients while other stakeholders valued treatment as a goal. Specific considerations varied by implementation context.
