Safer inhalation devices: a rapid Health Impact Assessment of a harm reduction pilot for people who smoke crack cocaine

This HIA underscores the potential value of an SID pilot in Wales as a means of addressing a critical service gap and reducing health inequalities among people who smoke crack cocaine. It demonstrates the utility of HIA in identifying both potential positive and negative impacts, and in shaping harm reduction strategies that are inclusive, and evidence informed. The findings provide a foundation for pilot implementation and evaluation, as well as a model for integrating HIA into broader public health initiatives and holistic harm reduction services.
