Who is the Harm Reduction Workforce?
Project Description
Harm reduction, an evidence-based approach that mitigates the effects of substance use through prevention, treatment, and recovery, has recently been identified as an important facet of the U.S.’s efforts to address the opioid epidemic and substance use disorders; yet little is known about the behavioral health workforce working in harm-reduction settings. This study sought to fill the knowledge gap on the harm reduction workforce through a mixed-methods study executed in partnership with the National Harm Reduction Coalition.
