Harm Reduction Strategies and Services (HRSS) Committee Policy Indicators Report

The HRSS Committee previously published a Policy Indicators Report in 2017. The current report aims to update data to the end of 2019 on available harm reduction policy indicators identified in the existing HRSS Policy and Guidelines (currently under revision). This report has three specific aims:

1. Describe trends in the incidence of harms associated with substance use;
2. Describe trends in distribution of harm reduction supplies and other harm reduction measures;
3. Highlight new and ongoing peer engagement initiatives of the HRSS Committee that aim to reduce stigma and barriers to care for people who use substances.
