Disease relevance of Harm Reduction

  • CONCLUSIONS: Among drug users who receive methadone maintenance treatment in a harm-reduction setting, which includes ancillary services such as needle-exchange programmes and HIV testing and counselling, prescription of high methadone dosages is not sufficient to stop the spread of HIV [1].
  • A better understanding of the etiology of hyperthermia after MDMA use is needed so that appropriate harm-reduction measures can be developed and instituted [2].

Chemical compound and disease context of Harm Reduction

 

Biological context of Harm Reduction

  • The hypotheses advanced include: the changing nature of the industry's interest in research and the role of marketing; the rise of the 'new public health' alliance focused on abstention rather than on harm minimization; the role of government funding and control of research; and the changing meaning of tobacco and especially nicotine [18].
  • This article looks at the history, epidemiology, and politics of Ecstasy, the media's response, and the ways in which media and government reaction will compromise harm reduction and safety [19].
 

Gene context of Harm Reduction

  • In the current analysis, they compared African American and White students on indicators of high-risk drinking, drinking consequences, harm-reduction strategies, the sources that students typically used for health information, and the believability of those sources [7].
  • The topic of drug consumption facilities or rooms (DCRs) was reviewed by Dolan, Kimber and others in Harm Reduction Digest 10, published in the September 2000 issue of DAR [20].
  • The 2001 Institute of Medicine report Clearing the Smoke: Assessing the Science Base for Tobacco Harm Reduction has helped to focus attention on the scientific basis for assessing tobacco harm reduction products [21].
