Previously the field was characterized by heated struggle between prohibition and legalization of addictive substances, and this debate tended to obscure practical, collective approaches. Harm reduction, an approach which encompasses various policy directives and program initiatives was inspired by the positive outcomes of such public measures as needle-exchange programs for reduction of HIV risk, methadone maintenance programs, education on the risks of tobacco use, and programs designed to limit alcohol consumption.The essays in this book illustrate the scope and vigour of the emerging harm reduction model. The essays, drawn from seven international conferences on harm reduction, cover a wide variety of topics, including public policy, women and reproductive issues, the experiences of special populations, human rights; defining and measuring harm, and intervention.Researchers and practitioners will benefit from the varied papers in the volume, which combine insights into policy-making and front-line outreach efforts with comprehensive conceptual and empirical approaches. Harm Reduction represents an important initiative in making academic work accessible and useful to a larger community, and provides guidance for the development of effective policies and programs. 606 $aDrug abuse$xSocial aspects$vCongresses 606 $aDrug abuse$xGovernment policy$vCongresses 606 $aDrug abuse$xPrevention$vCongresses 606 $aDrug abuse$xTreatment$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDrug abuse$xSocial aspects 615 0$aDrug abuse$xGovernment policy 615 0$aDrug abuse$xPrevention 615 0$aDrug abuse$xTreatment 676 $a362.29/17 702 $aErickson$b Patricia G. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460227303321 996 $aHarm reduction$9987491 997 $aUNINA
