May is Hepatitis Awareness Month, an opportunity to raise awareness about and recognize the impact of viral hepatitis in the United States.
On April 1, the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) released a statement on its drug policy priorities, which reflect a remarkable shift from the punitive approach of the past, by focusing on harm reduction and treatment and addressing social determinants of health such as racism, housing, and employment.
People who inject drugs (PWID) are at increased risk for HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and also have high levels of homelessness and unstable housing.
The O’Neill Institute at Georgetown Law released a Big Ideas brief and accompanying one-pager highlighting policy actions necessary to improve the health of people who use drugs and work towards ending the HIV epidemic.
A new study funded by NIH’s National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) suggests that implementing PrEP distribution within a community-based syringe services program (SSP) gets the much-needed medication into the hands of women who inject drugs.
On January 7, 2021, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released Viral Hepatitis National Strategic Plan for the United States: A Roadmap to Elimination (2021—2025) (“the Hepatitis Plan”), which provides a framework for the elimination of viral hepatitis in the United States.
The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), in partnership with the University of Washington (UW), is recruiting syringe services programs (SSPs), local health departments (LHDs), and other harm reduction stakeholders to participate in the SSP Monitoring & Evaluation Advisory Group (SSPAG).
A new technical assistance resource is available for SSPs to help guide effective planning and implementation and to identify opportunities for program enhancement.
