Summary

This study looks at how to get more people in Canadian federal prisons to use needle exchange programs, which can help stop the spread of HIV and hepatitis C. Researchers will work in nine prisons, including five women's prisons, to find out what helps or hinders program use and put better strategies in place. About 548 incarcerated individuals will take part, with the goal of making these life-saving programs more effective and sustainable.
