A Strait or an Ocean? Exploring Risks and Resources among People who use Drugs in Denmark and Sweden
In both cities, the Nordic welfare state plays a large role in providing resources, but drug policy can influence access to harm reduction resources and the experience of criminalization. These differences can play a role in shaping the local risk environments, although the patterns identified should be interpreted with caution given the exploratory nature of the study. More comparative research is needed to explore how drug policy shape risk environments.
