Program and Operational Characteristics of Syringe Services Programs—Data from the National Survey of Syringe Services Programs, 2019 and 2020

As part of a larger effort supported by Arnold Ventures to understand the impact of state-level policy initiatives on service delivery from SSPs, RTI International conducted a study of all known SSPs operating in the US from February to July 2021, which included an online, cross-sectional survey about the services the organization provided in 2019 and 2020. The survey was administered using the Voxco© platform (Voxco, Montreal, Quebec, Canada). Referred to as the NSSSP, this survey has been repeated annually since 2019, following consistent procedures. Administration of the 2021 NSSSP was supported by the North American Syringe Exchange Network (NASEN), the National Harm Reduction Coalition (NHRC), and a scientific advisory board comprised of national experts in harm reduction.为配合阿诺德风险投资公司（Arnold Ventures）资助的一项大型研究项目，旨在探究州级政策举措对针具服务项目（Syringe Services Programs, SSPs）服务供给的影响，RTI国际研究院（RTI International）于2021年2月至7月期间，针对美国境内所有已知运营的针具服务项目开展了一项研究。该研究包含一项关于受访机构2019年与2020年服务提供情况的线上横断面调查，通过Voxco©平台（加拿大魁北克省蒙特利尔市Voxco公司）实施。这项调查被称为全国针具服务项目调查（National Syringe Services Survey Program, NSSSP），自2019年起始终遵循统一流程，每年开展一次。2021年全国针具服务项目调查的实施工作得到了北美针具交换网络（North American Syringe Exchange Network, NASEN）、全国减少伤害联盟（National Harm Reduction Coalition, NHRC）以及一个由全国减少伤害领域专家组成的科学顾问委员会的支持。
