Summary

This study will use data from NYC homeless shelters, Medicaid, and vital records to see if harm reduction programs reduce fatal and non-fatal overdoses. Researchers will also look at whether these programs help people start treatment for substance use disorder and use health services more. No participants will be directly enrolled; the study relies on existing records from 2021 to 2026.
