Kerr, T., & Jürgens, R. (2004). Syringe exchange programs in prisons : reviewing the evidence. Montréal: Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network.
Abstract: A wealth of scientific evidence has shown that needle exchange programs (NEPs) are the most effective intervention available for the prevention of HIV infection among injection drug users (IDUs). As well, NEPs have been associated with increased access to care and treatment and with substantial cost-savings. The concerns raised about NEPs have been shown to be unfounded. NEPs have not led increased levels of risk behaviour or drug use in places where they have been implemented.

United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, & Costa, A. M. (2007). Reducing adverse health and social consequences of drug abuse : a comprehensive approach. Vienna: United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
Abstract: Some have perceived a contradiction between drug prevention and treatment on the one hand and efforts to reduce the negative health and social consequences of drug use on the other. However, in a new discussion paper, UNODC says that these are in fact complementary rather than contradictory. The paper, “Reducing the adverse health and social consequences of drug abuse: A comprehensive approach” is inspired by the international drug control treaties and supported by a growing body of scientific and medical evidence. Moreover, it was prepared in close consultation with the International Narcotics Control Board. It calls for a comprehensive approach to drug abuse in which prevention and treatment of substance use disorders constitute the initial stages. Provision of facilities to reduce the harmful consequences of drug abuse complete the approach.
Keywords: harm reduction; treatment and maintenance; prevention; AOD use, abuse, and dependence; AODR interpersonal and societal problems; government and politics; laws and regulations; international area
