USA. Harm-reduction efforts needed to curb overdose epidemic (AMA)
The U.S. drug-overdose epidemic continues to worsen as the number of deaths grew by nearly 15% in 2021—a grim total fueled by a 23% rise in the number of deaths linked to illicitly manufactured fentanyl—highlighting a need to encourage harm-reduction measures, according to a resolution presented at the 2022 AMA Interim Meeting.

The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction 2022: The Right Side of History
This Briefing Paper, drawn from The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction 2022: The Right Side of History, considers when, how and why the approach now known as tobacco harm reduction really began. When was it established that smoking-related diseases were not caused by nicotine, but by the thousands of chemicals released when tobacco burns? Who began looking for safer ways to use nicotine – and why were there so many false starts? How did nicotine consumers themselves influence the development both of safer products, and of tobacco harm reduction itself? What has been the response of public health and tobacco control organisations to these changes in nicotine use? (The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction (GSTHR), 2022 (finanziert von Philipp Morris, Anm.)

Was Harm Reduction ist und warum wir mehr davon brauchen
Wortwörtlich übersetzt bedeutet harm reduction „Schadensreduzierung.“ Obwohl die Entwicklung erster harm reduction-Maßnahmen schon in den 1920er-Jahren begann, ist das Prinzip erst in den 1980er-Jahren bekannt geworden. In dieser Zeit wurden erstmals Spritzenprogramme als Antwort auf die HIV-Ausbreitung unter Menschen, die Drogen injizieren, eingesetzt. Das oberste Ziel von harm reduction ist es, mögliche Schäden von Drogengebrauch mit sogenannten safer use-Praktiken zu reduzieren oder zu verhindern.

Harm Reduction Services Are Slowly Spreading Around the World
Around the world, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, environmental crisis and warfare, harm reduction services are slowly spreading. Global State of Harm Reduction 2022, a report released by Harm Reduction International on November 1, details many developments, from new syringe service programs (SSP) to new safe consumption sites (SCS), that paint a somewhat brighter picture than in recent years.

USA. The Vending Machine Saving Lives in Ohio
Since early last year, a vending machine in the US state of Ohio has provided crucial harm reduction supplies to a local community.
The machine, operated in Hamilton County by the non-profit Caracole, allows clients to access a variety of free supplies – including safer smoking kits, fentanyl testing strips, naloxone, safer injection kits (not including syringes), band-aids, pregnancy tests, sharps containers, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Hacker Ethics: Learning Lessons from Darknet Marketplaces
The rise of darknet marketplaces (DNMs) illustrates the systemic failings of drug war enforcement. From the perspective of the hackers behind this technology, they have, in the last decade, marked a new frontier in undermining prohibitionist efforts to restrict the availability of illegal drugs. To be clear, the unregulated free market model these websites represent has little to do with Transform’s vision of legal regulation. Nevertheless, darknet users have undeniably pioneered - deliberately or not - models of harm reduction, which may offer useful lessons as we plot the course into a post-prohibitionist world.

Dortmund. Die Suche nach einer zentral gelegenen Immobilie war problematisch: Nach 20 Jahren Pause bekommt Dortmund wieder eine (Not-) Schlafstelle für Drogensüchtige
Dortmund bekommt nach rund 20 Jahren wieder eine (Not-) Schlafstelle für Drogensüchtige. Nach langer und erfolgloser Suche nach einer neuen Immobilie wird sie dort eingerichtet, wo sie auch schon in den 90er Jahren war – im Haus der Drogenhilfe am Schwanenwall 42 – über dem „Café Flash“. Im Oktober 2022 soll sie – wenn die Bauarbeiten rechtzeitig beendet sind – eröffnen und Platz für bis zu 20 Obdach- oder Wohnungslose mit Suchtproblemen bieten.

USA. “Where They’re At”—Harm Reduction in Rural America
On a warm winter night, a small group of harm reduction workers in Charleston, West Virginia, stuffed the trunk of a gray car with hundreds of kits containing sterile syringes, light blue tourniquets, packets of alcohol swabs, little balls of cotton, and the opioid-overdose antidote, naloxone. All of the ingredients to prevent a fatal overdose and inject drugs without contracting a viral infection.
Before the sun set, this group of mobile harm reduction workers had sent encrypted text messages to people in the area who needed these supplies, detailing times and locations for secret drop-offs. Everyone was told to look out for the gray car.
“We’ve been forced to work in the shadows.” (Filter, USA, 23.08.2022)

EMCDDA. Using the Global Drug Survey for harm reduction
The data from the Global Drug Survey (GDS) contains invaluable information that can answer key and novel questions related to the epidemiology of psychoactive substance use as well as inform the development of pragmatic harm reduction resources that put people first. This paper looks at the history of the GDS and the range of harm reduction tools that have been created using data from the survey. (EMCDDA, Lissabon, Juni 2022)
