Haddad R, Dagenais C, Fallu JS, Huỳnh C, D’Arcy L, & Hot A. (2024). Facilitators of and obstacles to practitioners’ adoption of harm reduction in cannabis use: A scoping review. Harm Reduction Journal, 21(1), 178.
Cannabis use can generate potential avoidable harms, hence the need for effective preventive measures and treatment. Studies show the efficacy of harm reduction (HR) in minimizing undesirable consequences associated with this use. Despite its proven efficacy, HR in cannabis use remains poorly applied by many health and social services (HSS) practitioners, especially with young people. However, knowledge regarding the underlying reasons for this is limited. To fill this gap, we aimed to identify facilitators of and obstacles to HSS practitioners’ adoption of HR in cannabis use across OECD countries.
