National Expansion of Syringe Service Providers Technical Assistance (NEST) - Harm Reduction Coalition proposes the National Expansion of Syringe Services Programs Technical Assistance (NEST) Project to establish and provide a comprehensive national technical assistance resource for syringe services programs (SSPs). For 25 years, Harm Reduction Coalition has been the national leader in technical assistance, training, capacity-building, advocacy, conferences and convenings, and dissemination of innovations and best practices for the harm reduction field in the United States. In parallel with the rapid national growth of SSPs driven by the opioid overdose epidemic, the demand for our technical assistance support – from state and local health departments, grassroots groups, community-based organizations, health care providers, and a range of other stakeholders – has never been higher. In response, Harm Reduction Coalition’s proposed NEST Project envisions a three-year initiative (Component 1: Harm Reduction Technical Assistance) to develop a comprehensive portfolio of technical assistance materials and resources; provide technical assistance to a diverse range of established SSPs as well as communities considering establishing an SSP; and conduct wide-ranging promotion, coordination, and evaluation activities. In addition, Harm Reduction Coalition will undertake a one-year effort (Demonstration Project 1a: Patient Navigation Programs at SSPs) to support the development and implementation of patient navigation programs at 8 diverse SSPs. Harm Reduction Coalition’s NEST Project application proposes an innovative set of approaches to the challenges of scalable and sustainable SSP technical assistance: 1) targeting technical assistance activities to specific phases of organizational readiness, adapting a “Stages of Change” metaphor (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance) to characterize the SSP lifecycle; 2) leveraging a diverse range of technical assistance modalities (training and workshop facilitation; remote coaching; manuals, case studies, fact sheets, and issue briefs; webinars and online learning modules; learning collaboratives; regional summits; and organizational development institutes); 3) a focus on building long-term sustainability through recruiting three cohorts of external trainers and coaches to establish a National Harm Reduction TA Network; and 4) an evaluation strategy entailing the development or adaptation of new tools (a fidelity index, a readiness for change assessment, and a stage of implementation completion instrument). The NEST Project represents the culmination of Harm Reduction Coalition’s unparalleled experience and unique insights into the challenges and opportunities for robust harm reduction technical assistance to improve and increase the implementation, sustainability, and comprehensiveness of SSPs. As proposed, the NEST Project would result in a larger and stronger network of SSPs nationally, with greater ability and effectiveness in infectious disease screening and linkage to care, access to medication-assisted treatment, and ultimately improvement in health outcomes and reductions in health disparities for PWIDs.
