Harm Reduction 2010: The Next Generation

The 21st conference of the International Harm Reduction Association will include high profile keynote speeches, plenary sessions, major sessions, symposia, workshops, training events, a film festival, poster exhibitions, exhibition areas, satellite meetings, social and networking events, and the annual IHRA award presentations.

Why ‘The Next Generation’?

There are now two and a half decades of harm reduction experience. A substantial body of evidence shows the feasibility and effectiveness of harm reduction in a wide variety of social and cultural settings. But what is needed as we move through to the third decade of harm reduction? How adequate are the models of harm reduction that have been developed? Is the ‘comprehensive package’ of harm reduction for HIV sustainable in low and middle income countries?
