Somaini, B., Wang, J., Perozo, M., Kuhn, F., Meili, D., Grob, P., et al. (1999). A continuing concern : HIV and hepatitis testing and prevalence among drug users in substitution programs in Zurich, Switzerland. Zurich: Arbeitsgemeinschaft für risikoarmen Umgang mit Drogen (ARUD).
Abstract: Phase I of the Zurich Prometheus Study is a cross-sectional study focusing on an up-to-date serology for HIV and hepatitis B/C and associated risk factors for all clients in four participating clinics offering opiate substitution in Zurich, Switzerland. The mean age of the 603 respondents is 30.7 years (SD=6.2), and 38% of them are women. Seventy-five percent of the respondents have a history of injecting drug use (IDU), and over half have injected within the past six months. Lab-confirmed seroprevalence for HBV (50%) and HCV (57%) is twice that of HIV (24%). There is an 80% risk reduction for all three viral infections among those starting IDU after 1991—when harm reduction efforts were in full swing—compared to those who began before 1988—before clean needles were widely available. These findings suggest a strongly protective effective of harm reduction measures. But while a stabilization in HIV prevalence at 15% can be seen among drug users who started injecting after 1991, prevalence rates for HBV and HCV still remain several times higher. The prevalence data in this study support data showing continued high incidence rates for HBV and HCV, even among new injectors in the harm reduction era.

Uchtenhagen, A., & Schaub, M. (2011). Minimum quality standards in drug demand reduction EQUS : final report. Zurich: Research Institute for Public Health and Addiction (ISGF).
Abstract: The main objective of the EQUS project, as set out in the call for tenders, is to collect existing national and international information on quality standards and benchmarks in drug demand reduction, to set up an inventory of these standards and benchmarks, and to extract from the inventory lists of minimum quality standards to be submitted to a range of relevant stakeholders for approval. The result is intended to facilitate a quality awareness and improvement process throughout the EU Member States. The various elements of the project are summarised as follows: a. To describe the background and the tasks of the project b. To describe the methods used for developing the inventories c. To describe the consensus building process fort the final results of the project d. To outline problems and perspectives fort the implementation of the proposed minimum quality standards at European level e. A summary of project results
