Is hygienic injecting something everyone is able to practise? | ||
Serious bacterial infections are among the most common
medical complications in people who inject drugs, and can
result in the need for urgent hospital care. US study
investigated whether rolling out an injecting hygiene
programme in hospital to people who inject drugs would
reduce the rate of return visits. Strong argument for
pragmatic and timely harm reduction, but not to be
overlooked are the factors outside of individual behaviour
that impact injecting hygiene. Click button below for our analysis of the study. |
