HOUSING-BASED SYRINGE SERVICES PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO SAFER INJECTING EQUIPMENT FOR PEOPLE WHO INJECT DRUGS IN VANCOUVER, CANADA: A SPATIALLY ORIENTED QUALITATIVE STUDY

Housing-based syringe services programs to improve access to safer injecting equipment for people who inject drugs in Vancouver, Canada: a spatially oriented qualitative study

Abstract Background Housing environments shape injection drug-related risks and harms and thus represent a critical implementation setting for syringe services programs (SSPs).As critical harm reduction measures, SSPs provide safe injecting equipment to people who inject drugs (PWID).Vancouver, Canada, has well-established syringe distribution prog

Current-induced Hall effect

The properties of the current-induced Hall Ice Maker effect are analysed, for which the static magnetic field, supplied by an external source in the traditional experiment, is created by the current itself.The special experimental setup, needed for its observation, is described.It is shown how, combined with the skin effect, it could give access to
