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.

作为由Arnold Ventures支持的一项大型综合研究项目的组成部分，为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SSPs开展了一项研究。该研究包含一项线上横断面调查，内容涉及受访机构2019年与2020年所提供的服务。本次调查依托Voxco©平台（Voxco，加拿大魁北克省蒙特利尔市）实施。该调查被称为全国针具服务项目调查（National Syringe Services Program Survey，NSSSP），自2019年起遵循统一流程每年重复开展。2021年NSSSP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）以及由全国减少伤害领域国家级专家组成的科学顾问委员会的支持。
