Abstract
Harm reduction strategies in the community includes the work of practitioners, activists, and researchers conducting community-based work in domestic and international settings to alleviate pain and suffering for people who use drugs (PWUD) by providing services to meet their needs. This themed issue features a wide variety of community examples of harm reduction efforts that have been developed to reduce stigma associated with substance use. The articles focused on creating culturally appropriate messaging for opioid users while at the same time decriminalizing substance use and emphasizing the importance of implementing a social determinants of health framework in the community, including gender-specific care and ensuring safe substance use and connecting youth with services.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityis on the cutting edge of social action and change, not only covering current thought and developments, but also defining future directions in the field. Under the editorship of Joseph R. Ferrari since 1995, Prevention in Human Services was retitled as the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityto reflect its focus of providing professionals with information on the leading, effective programs for community intervention and prevention of problems. Because of its intensive coverage of selected topics and the sheer length of each issue, the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community is the first-and in many cases, primary-source of information for mental health and human services development.
