The broader public health strategy includes overdose prevention“Overdose affects every community, including ours. But the good news is—overdose can be prevented when we take action. The Seven Policies to Advance Overdose Prevention and the Health of People Who Use Drugs shows us what works. At the center of these policies is harm reduction. This is a public health approach that focuses on saving lives, respecting people, and meeting them where they are.”
