Dr. Eaton and a team from AIDS Programs South Saskatchewan (APSS) are taking a unique approach to geo-locating HIV and sexually transmitted and blood borne infection (STTBI) prevention and harm reduction strategies for people who use drugs. Researchers will work to map ‘hot-spots’ for discarded needle incidences in Regina, then use this data to inform localized pop-up interventions. Their project will combine the efforts of knowledge-users, researchers and those with lived experience, and conclude with an evaluation of the feasibility and benefit of this approach in reducing addictions-related harm.
