Report on the relevance of supervised injection sites: critical analysis of the literature
Given that certain questions have been raised regarding the results of studies on the effects of SISs, the Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ) has taken the initiative of carrying out a critical analysis of these studies.
The objective of this report is to evaluate the relevance of establishing supervised injection sites in the province of Québec. It is based on a critical analysis of the scientific research carried out to date on the effects of SISs and on a review of the literature on the related ethical and legal issues as well as on acceptability and operational factors related to such sites.
