Résumé : | It has become an axiom of harm reduction approaches, particularly in the context of HIV prevention, that early intervention is critical. Recent international reviews also emphasise that one of the critical ingredients underpinning effective public health responses is the 'rapidity' with which risk reduction and prevention interventions are implemented. Acting quickly to minimise risk in order to prevent harm is a fundamental feature of the logic of the public health movement. A key aspect of rapid response development is assessment. Rapid assessment seeks to develop harm reduction responses in cognisance with local conditions. Rapid assessment is an attempt to 'speed up' social science research for specific 'programmatic purposes'. It is action-oriented. It is a method which seeks to 'understand communities' own perceptions of their priority needs' and for 'formulating joint action plans between communities and service planners'. In the past 5 years, rapid assessments of drug use situations have been undertaken in most global sectors, including sub-Sarahan Africa, south and south-east Asia, south America, central and eastern Europe and Australia. The diffusion of rapid assessments specific to drug use has itself been rapid. This has been facilitated by the support of a number of international agencies seeking to strengthen capacity for cost-effective approaches to response development in developing and transitional countries. Rapid assessment has developed in response to the practical limits of conventional research. It aims to fill the gap which commonly exists between research and intervention.
