Tribally-affiliated syringe services programs in the United States: a brief report

The results of this study demonstrate that there are at least 21 SSPs that are affiliated with Federally-recognized tribes in the US, with some serving multiple tribes. This research makes a noteworthy contribution to the public health literature given that no systematic exploration of the number of SSPs affiliated with tribes has been conducted. The scale of substance use inequities among Indigenous people underscores the critical importance of communities implementing and managing their own comprehensive harm reduction programs.
