Shelter Harm Reduction Evaluation for Overdose Prevention

This study, called the Shelter HArm Reduction Evaluation, is looking at how harm reduction programs in New York City homeless shelters affect overdose rates and other health issues. Researchers are using existing administrative data from NYC homeless services, Medicaid, and vital records to understand the impact of these programs. They will also conduct interviews with shelter clients and staff. The main goals are to see how often fatal and non-fatal overdoses occur. You would not directly participate in this study, as it uses existing records. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
