Use of supervised injection facilities and injection risk

by Bravo MJ et al

The aim of the research was to study the use of supervised injection facilities (SIFs) as a predictor of safer injecting practices. The study, carried out in Madrid and Barcelona concluded that SIFs attract highly disadvantaged drug injectors who engage none the less in less borrowing of used syringes than non-users of these facilities. The risks of indirect sharing should be emphasized when counselling SIF attendees.
