Harm Reduction 101

This is our first episode and we're very excited! There might be a few mess-ups, but bare with us, we'll get better! This episode is all about the basics of Harm Reduction- its definition, its main principles, some history, and what we do at our program. Because this podcast is titled #factsmatter, below are some articles and websites that we referenced in this first episode! Harm Reduction Coalition- harmreduction.org Historical context of drug use- Crocq, M.-A. (2007). "Historical and cultural aspects of man's relationships with Addictive Drugs." Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience, 9(4): 355-361 Not referenced in this episode, but a cool article none the less about the role of people who use drugs in harm reduction work- Marshall et al. (2015). "Peering into the literature: A systematic review of the roles of people who inject drugs in harm reduction initiatives." Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 151:1-14
