Kanada. Overdose deaths would be at least twice as high without emergency harm reduction and treatment response
The rapid expansion of harm reduction services in response to B.C.’s overdose crisis prevented more than 3,000 possible overdose deaths during a 20-month period, suggests new research led by the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC). (BCCDC, Kanada, 05.06.2019)

Women and harm reduction - Global State of Harm Reduction 2018 briefing
Women are estimated to account for one third of the 275 million people who use drugs globally. Women who use drugs are consistently reported to have less access to harm reduction services and to be at higher risk of HIV and hepatitis C infection than men who use drugs. Despite these reports, robust data on this subject is scarce, and research on drug use and related health issues rarely produces information about women. The Global State of Harm Reduction 2018 identifies a number of key issues and themes reflected across the world that limit women’s access to harm reduction services, and highlights cases of good practice.

Working with people who use drugs - Guidance for homelessness accommodation services
There is no legal requirement for homelessness services to provide specific support to individuals who use drugs, although it is common for people experiencing homelessness to be using drugs. Homelessness services vary in their tolerance to drug use, and the use of drugs can cause challenges for clients who are expected to adhere to organisational policies and procedures. This can be equally challenging for the organisation. There is, however, an opportunity for homelessness services to work with people using drugs, in order to help reduce harm, improve future prospects and increase opportunities of re-integration in to wider society.

Researchers verify new method of HIV transmission among injection drug users and effective prevention technique
“Cook your Wash” campaign reduces risk of HIV transmission
LONDON, ON – New studies from Lawson Health Research Institute and Western University have found for the first time that HIV can be transmitted through the sharing of equipment used to prepare drugs before injection and that a simple intervention – heating the equipment with a cigarette lighter for 10 seconds – can destroy the HIV virus, preventing that transmission. The findings, used to inform a public health campaign called ‘Cook Your Wash,’ have helped reduce rates of HIV transmission in London, Ontario. (Lawson Health Research Institute, Kanada, 25.04.2019)

Linz/Österreich. Ersatzfläche für Alkohol- und Suchtkranke: Konflikte im öffentlichen Raum minimieren und Aufenthaltsbereich für Alkoholkranke ermöglichen
(...) „Gemeinsam mit Sucht-Experten, der Polizei und SozialarbeiterInnen wollen wir den Versuch unternehmen, den Alkohol- und Suchtkranken eine Ersatzfläche zur Verfügung zu stellen. Ein konkreter Vorschlag liegt vor, etwaige notwendige Adaptierungsmaßnahmen werden derzeit geprüft“, so Bürgermeister Klaus Luger.
„Die Erfahrungen am Hessenpark und am Südbahnhofmarkt haben gezeigt, dass die Konflikte vor Ort mit Sozialarbeit alleine nicht zu lösen sind. Es braucht daher einen entsprechenden, niederschwellig betreuten Aufenthaltsbereich für Alkoholkranke, um das Konfliktpotenzial zu minimieren und gleichzeitig der Zielgruppe eine entsprechende Fläche zu bieten“, betont Sozialreferentin Vizebürgermeisterin Karin Hörzing.

USA. Increasing Access to MAT: What Is the Role of Harm Reduction?
