Route transitions
This one day course is designed to enable those working with and supporting injecting drug users to gain a greater understanding of transitions between routes of drug administration and enable them to evaluate several interventions to reduce harm.
The course explores strategies to reduce initiation into injecting and promote 'reverse transitions', by exploring the application of alternatives to injecting drug use.
Learning objectives
To enable participants to:
- gain an understanding of the ways in which transitions to and from injecting occur naturally within populations of drug users;
- develop understanding of the main opportunities to prevent initiation into injecting and promote transitions away from injecting;
- be able to describe the main principles of the 'Break the Cycle' campaign and discuss how these might be applied in the participants own work;
- gain experience of taking an initiation history and assess how this may be used as a basis for intervention; and
- examine alternatives routes of administration and consider the opportunitiesand limitations for promoting these within the participants own work.
