AAPP Releases Policy Asks Related to Harm Reduction Services

AAPP’s newest policy calls for public policies that expand access to evidence-based harm reduction services, including overdose prevention resources, syringe services, and other measures that reduce the health risks associated with substance use. It emphasizes that harm reduction is a critical public health strategy that saves lives, improves engagement in care, and should be supported through legislation, funding, and the removal of barriers to access.
