View Award Description

National Harm Reduction Technical Assistance and Syringe Services Program Monitoring and Evaluation - Syringe services programs (SSPs) were first established to reduce the risk of HIV transmission through injection equipment sharing. Over the past 30 years, SSPs have expanded their focus beyond the provision of sterile injection equipment to provide additional interventions for infectious diseases and overdose prevention, and serve as an entry point for people who inject drugs (PWID) to access treatment for substance use disorders, other medical care, and social work services. The current opioid epidemic and resurgence of methamphetamine use have again stoked interest in SSPs as a primary place to reach PWID for preventive services. There is a clear and urgent need to provide more support to SSPs to expand their services and employ best practices. Moreover, there is an absence of a national surveillance system of SSPs and many SSPs do not even collect encounter-level data. To address these gaps in critical public health activities needed to ensure the health and well-being of PWID, we propose the creation of the UW Monitoring & Evaluation and Technical Assistance for Syringe Services Program (UW MTS). UW MTS will be a coalition of academic, public health, and community-based organizations with expertise in the delivery of SSP services, SSP community building and networking, M & E, and technical assistance (TA). All activities will be coordinated by the UW-based team, with support provided by Dr. Don Des Jarlais at New York University, the North American Syringe Exchange Network (NASEN), and a team of regional SSPs and other experts. For Component 1, the UW MTS will develop and deliver a comprehensive TA program for SSPs with six key activities: a SSP toolkit, technical cooperation groups (TCGs), tailored TA, small group learning collaboratives, reverse site visits, and a patient navigator (PN) linkage demonstration project. The toolkit will be developed in collaboration with the UW Infectious Disease Education and Assessment team, which has previous developed training curricula related to HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and sexually transmitted diseases. The PN program will provide three linkage services for SSP clients: linkage to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, onsite screening for HCV and linkage to care and treatment, and onsite testing for HIV and linkage to care and treatment. The primary goals for Component 1 are to strengthen SSP capacity to implement comprehensive services to prevent infectious consequences of IDU, improve the implementation and sustainability of SSP, and improve linkage to MAT and screening and care for infectious diseases. For Component 2, the UW MTS will develop and implement an SSP M & E program with seven key activities: an assessment organization-level barriers to M & E, expansion of the NASEN SSP directory, identification of key M & E metrics, collection of ongoing M & E data, production of an annual report, development of an SSP M & E toolkit, and a SSP surveillance demonstration project. The demonstration project will pilot two data collection activities with SSPs: the deployment of an electronic data capture system for SSPs, and a large-scale survey of PWID at 30 SSPs. The efforts will be built on prior experience conducting sentinel surveillance with PWID - including at SSPs - and the roll out of a statewide M & E program in Washington State. The primary goals for Component 2 are to improve national and local ability to conduct M & E of SSPs, improve the implementation of SSPs, strengthen SSP capacity to contribute to a national surveillance system, and track consequences of IDU. Our application is based on the premise that capacity building at SSPs is best delivered by peers with the supportive infrastructure of a research university. This coalition is needed to reach SSPs quickly and effectively to meet the project’s ambitious goals and ultimately improve the health and well-being of PWID in the U.S.
