Résumé

Drug use route transition interventions promote safer consumption by facilitating a switch from injection to safer routes such as smoking or oral consumption. We performed a descriptive analysis using data from questions about "free, clean equipment for smoking" heroin, methamphetamine and/or crack from the Seattle 2018 National HIV Behavioral Surveillance survey of people who inject drugs ( Among participants who reported prior year heroin ( Access to free safer smoking equipment was limited. Many participants were interested in getting free safer smoking equipment and reported that this access may reduce their injection frequency. Safer smoking equipment is a harm reduction strategy that should be available to reduce risks from opioid and stimulant injection.
