A cost–benefit analysis of the implementation and scale‐up of harm reduction interventions in the Australian Capital Territory

Modelled expanded and new harm reduction interventions for people who use drugs in the Australian Capital Territory appear to be likely to be cost saving from a societal perspective. If circulation of drugs with higher overdose risks was greater in this region, this would increase the impacts of interventions to prevent overdose and associated harms.

Abstract

Modelled expanded and new harm reduction interventions for people who use drugs in the Australian Capital Territory appear to be likely to be cost saving from a societal perspective. If circulation of drugs with higher overdose risks was greater in this region, this would increase the impacts of interventions to prevent overdose and associated harms.
