Summary

This study looked at whether bringing health services directly to people who inject drugs via a mobile van (linked to a needle exchange program) can improve their health and reduce risks like HIV and overdose.

The researchers measured access to care, risky behaviors, and health outcomes to see if this approach works and is cost-effective.
