On-site health service delivery models at syringe services programs in the United States: Results of a national cross-sectional survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People who inject drugs (PWID) have many needs for health services, but frequently lack access to and/or do not utilize those services. Syringe services programs (SSPs) are low-stigma environments where health services can be provided, but are not well described.

Objective

We characterized types of health services delivery available at syringe services programs (SSPs) nationally and assess SSP characteristics associated with them.

Methods

Using a national survey of SSPs on services provided in 2019 (N = 153), we conducted latent class analysis to determine the best fit model for health service delivery types. We examined the association between health delivery types and SSP organizational characteristics using multinomial logistic regression.
