Drug testing after use: what insights can be gained from a harm reduction perspective on visitors of the drugs information and monitoring system (DIMS) in the Netherlands?
By identifying the characteristics of PWUD who have their drugs tested after use and by demonstrating that not only a (mis)match with the expected drug content, but also the setting in which the substance was used was associated with the drug experience, improved strategies can be developed to encourage individuals to visit a DCS before consumption, thereby reducing drug-related harm.
