Abstract
The authors reflect on overdose prevention efforts in the U.S. and a call for American policymakers to establish supervised injection sites (SISs) where people can inject preobtained drugs under staff supervision. According to the article, deaths involving prescription opioids have quadrupled in the U.S. between 1999 and 2014. Naloxone therapy and syringe sharing prevention are assessed, along with American public health initiatives and the Insite SIS in Vancouver, British Columbia.
