Résumé : |
ENGLISH :
The spread of infectious diseases and overdoses among injection drug users remain major public-health challenges globally. In response to these concerns, an increasing number of countries have implemented supervised injection facilities where drug users can inject pre-obtained illicit drugs under the supervision of health-care professionals. Despite a growing body of evidence which suggests that such facilities are effective in addressing various harms, few interventions have been as vigorously contested and difficult to implement.
