How researchers in Boston developed a tool to define and evaluate “harm reduction housing”
According to the first of today's Five Studies About: Harm Reduction
Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime.
Published Tuesdays and Thursdays, Five Studies About is a free tip sheet where I curate recent crime and justice studies related to one topic. Today’s topic is harm reduction.

These new crime studies related to harm reduction were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. Developing a comprehensive inventory to define harm reduction housing [Harm Reduction Journal]
2. For a renewed harm reduction model [Harm Reduction Journal]
3. Perspectives of Key Partners on Improving Awareness of Virtual Harm Reduction Services: A Qualitative Study [Substance Use & Misuse]
4. Opioid consumption frequency and its associations with potential life problems during opioid agonist treatment in individuals with prescription-type opioid use disorder: exploratory results from the OPTIMA Study [Harm Reduction Journal]
5. An exploration of desired abstinent and non-abstinent recovery outcomes among people who use methamphetamine [Harm Reduction Journal]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of Understanding Crime, my newsletter where I report on criminology and criminal justice research. If any sound interesting or important, let me know in the comments.
Five Studies About and Crime Research Update are the output of my research discovery system.
