Why is it important?
This research assessed self-perceived illegal drug need in HIDUs based on their own experiences of survival on the streets.
Perspectives
Increased awareness of Substance Insecurity is critical for authorities, policymakers, and the general public in order to understand the plight of HIDUs and their needs. This will lower stigmas towards them and radical harm reduction programs, leading to better treatment options for this population.
