The Impact of COVID-19 on Syringe Services Programs in the United States	2020-04-24		.txt	text/plain	1685	85	52	We conducted a rapid mixed methods assessment of SSP response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States (U.S.) to quantify and characterize changes in services provided by SSPs and the potential impact on PWID. Five key themes emerged from this interim analysis of data from qualitative interviews of SSP staff in five COVID-19 hotspots (Detroit, Philadelphia, New Orleans, New York City, and Seattle). To reinforce social distancing practices and minimize the number of participant visits, programs have increased distribution of syringes, works, and naloxone. However, when data were available, programs reported that the number of syringes distributed had remained level or had increased due to distributing more supplies to each participant, including through secondary exchange (i.e., providing supplies to peers to distribute to others).
