Implementation determinants of safer smoking supplies in U.S. syringe services programs
Determinants in the inner context, like organizational prioritization of safer smoking supplies and internal leadership support, may facilitate safer smoking supply implementation, while specific outer context factors (e.g., funding, regional policies) may inhibit implementation. Flexible policies and funding structures and further research to build and disseminate evidence on the benefits of safer smoking supplies are needed to expand the implementation and scale-up of this prevention service within U.S. SSPs.
