International Overdose Awareness day

OD awareness dayToday (31st August) is International Overdose Awareness day and all around the world there are services (and individuals) working hard to raise awareness of the main course of death for people who use drugs.

As you'd expect a lot of these people are now using social media like twitter, so I've decided to collect together the mentions of the official 'hashtag' for overdose awareness day (#OD10).

Public injecting

We talk to people a lot about how they inject, what they inject and where on their body they inject it.

But how often do we talk to people about their injecting environment? And the effect this has on both their injecting risks and their perception of drug use.

Hooked 39: Contraception
Wednesday, 18 August 2010 09:30

hookedWe decided it was time to do a show on contraception, mainly because sexual health is something that drug services are supposed to address. I will say one thing before you download this show though, this one is not safe for listening to in polite company.

Public injectingDr. Stephen Parkin seems to be developing into a regular contributor to this blog which I think can only be a good thing.

Hooked 38: Harm reduction works
Wednesday, 11 August 2010 13:26

hookedWe've had a special guest in the studio this week. Andrew Preston came in to talk to us about the Harm Reduction Works campaign which has been running for almost 2 years now.

We covered all the current harm reduction materials in the campaign as well as looking at why/how they have been developed. In our opinion these have been some of the best produced resources available, and all for free (well, free in England at least). It was great to have Andrew join the Hooked team for the day, and I'm sure we'll have him back soon.
