People who use substances have high unmet needs for accessing sexual and reproductive health care. Healthcare settings are implementing a variety of strategies to meet the needs of people who use drugs, including screening and brief intervention,
de-stigmatizing substance use disorder and addressing a range of behaviors from a harm reduction perspective. This activity aims to assist clinical services providers with understanding the problems people who use drugs face in accessing
sexual and reproductive health care and to explain harm reduction and implementation in health care settings.
At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe unmet sexual and reproductive health needs of people with substance use disorder.
- Discuss strategies for enhanced, client-centered care for people with substance use disorder.
- List at least three harm reduction principles for healthcare settings.
