Mobile Harm Reduction Units (New Aced It Episode)

Launched in 2018, the Community Care in Reach program, a mobile health unit, offers on-demand care for individuals who use substances. This vital care includes naloxone kits, syringe distribution, and other treatments, which are provided to marginalized populations. In this episode, we discuss the results of a study that examines this program’s impact, highlighting how it has successfully increased access to services for those who need it most. We also touch on future evaluations to assess the program’s cost-effectiveness and potential for broader implementation.
