Supervised Injecting Room Cohort Study (SIRX): study protocol
SuperMIX Study (599/21) and SIRX-R Study (71/23) ethics approvals were obtained from Alfred Hospital Research Ethics Committee. Participants will be assessed for capacity to provide informed consent following a detailed explanation of the study. Participants are informed of their right to withdraw from the study at any time and that withdrawing does not impact their access to services. Aggregated research results will be disseminated via presentations at national and international scientific conferences and publications in peer-reviewed journals. Local-level reports and outputs will be distributed to key study stakeholders and policymakers. Summary findings via accessible outputs (eg, short infographic summaries) for participants will be displayed in relevant services including the Melbourne MSIR and the study van, and distributed via Harm Reduction Victoria.
