Harm reduction strategy for drug use is a pragmatic and compassionate approach focusing on minimizing the negative consequences associated with drug use rather than on eliminating drug use itself. This philosophy acknowledges that while drug use is a part of our world, strategies can be implemented to reduce its harmful effects. For instance, needle exchange programs aim to prevent the spread of infectious diseases among intravenous drug users, while safe consumption spaces provide a controlled environment to reduce the risks of overdose and ensure immediate assistance. Education on safe practices serves as a fundamental tool, empowering individuals with knowledge to make informed decisions. Notably, studies published in journals like "The Lancet" and "Journal of Public Health" have demonstrated the efficacy of these approaches in reducing harm and improving community health outcomes. These strategies prioritize health and dignity, shifting the focus from punishment to support and care. This article is an analysis of the past year and fentanyl crisis.

Dr Vince Carbino, your approach to harm reduction in drug use truly aligns with my experiences as a budding mental health therapist-in-training and an educator. 🙏🏾🦋 This pragmatic and compassionate strategy acknowledges the reality of drug use and focuses on minimizing harm. As a therapist, I believe in meeting individuals where they are, offering support without judgment. Needle exchange programs and safe consumption spaces are vital for protecting health and dignity. This shift from punitive measures to supportive care is crucial in fostering a more understanding and healthier society. How do you see harm reduction strategies evolving in response to the ongoing fentanyl crisis?

UNODC'S theme for 2024 "The evidence is clear: invest in prevention". This approach calls for Policymakers to adopt an evidence based approach to curb the problem of drug abuse and illicit trafficking at the root level. This approach will definitely help us to engage in more research, scientific data and understanding the problem at grass root level to come up with more practical and genuine policies needed in this field.

MBBS| RMP| AMC aspirant I wish to have empathetic ears, healing hands and a compassionate heart for every life I touch.
Hoover's sign is a motor sign. It is based on the principle of crossed extensor reflex - when one hip is flexed, the contralateral hip is extended. It is to examine the inconsistency between automatic hip extension vs voluntary hip extension - hip extension in a patient with unilateral functional weakness is weak when tested directly, but briefly returns to normal when triggered by contralateral hip flexion. The Hoover's sign is positive when pressure is felt under the paretic leg when the non-paretic leg is raised and no pressure is felt in the non-paretic leg when the paretic leg is being raised.
