Do some key stakeholders in your country view your IDU program with suspicion?
If so, it's especially important to know the evidence base for our models and to be aware of what global health bodies support the work.
Go to the link below for the WHO document:
EVIDENCE FOR ACTION: EFFECTIVENESS OF COMMUNITY-BASED OUTREACH IN PREVENTING HIV/AIDS AMONG INJECTING DRUG USERS
http://www.emro.who.int/aiecf/web2.pdf
The document outlines WHO's position on the existing evidence that supports IDU interventions, including outreach and needle distribution.
WHO supports the kind of work we're doing to reduce death and disability among IDUs. We should be using that support to help build enabling environments for our programs.
