Résumé : |
Increasingly, 'safer injecting rooms' (SIRs) and other 'drug consumption rooms' (DCRs) are being adopted as a component within national responses to the health and community safety problems that can accompany illicit drug use.
Although a range of terms have been used including: 'safer injection rooms' (Nadelmann et al., 1999); 'supervised injecting centres' (Kimber et al., 2002); 'safe injecting rooms' (Home Affairs Select Committee, 2002); and, 'medically supervised injecting centres' (MSIC) (Mattick et al., 2001), the term 'drug consumption rooms' is emerging as the preferred term within the scientific literature for the description of this broad type of facility, within which drugs are either injected or smoked. One recent, published international review of DCRs defined them as "legally sanctioned low threshold facilities which allow the hygienic consumption of pre-obtained drugs under professional supervision in a non-judgemental environment" (Kimber et al., 2003). Hedrich (2004), in the most comprehensive review to date for the European Monitoring Centre on Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) - an EU body - uses the definition from Akzept (2000): ... protected places for the hygienic consumption of preobtained drugs in a non-judgemental environment and under the supervision of trained staff. The EMCDDA review examined peer-reviewed and 'grey' literature as well as conference proceedings. An expert advisory group comprising members from all countries in which DCRs operated at the time helped identify literature published in English and the language(s) of each country. Because of the recency and breadth of the review for the EMCDDA, no attempt is made to duplicate it here. Instead, this review takes the form of: a summary of the main findings and Hedrich's conclusions with a commentary on these. These are then updated on the basis of a review of the identified English language literature that has since been published (appended). Because the concern is with effectiveness, the focus is largely restricted to new research that adds to an understanding of whether or how DCRs are effective and with whom: it does not include more general commentaries on their desirability or otherwise, other than where these add to our understanding of the evidence or their effectiveness and how it should be generated or interpreted. Similarly, this review does not attempt to summarise the history of DCRs or the legal questions that surround their implementation. [Extract] |
