在从交换所和药房获得针头和注射器的授权有限的情况下，二级交换所可以提供无菌注射设备的重要来源。可以制定干预措施，使用SE促进针头和注射器交换计划，以覆盖更广泛的药物注射人群。然而，在西澳大利亚州这样的背景下，针头和注射器可从许多授权来源提供给药物注射者，SE的额外益处是未知的。2003年10月对数据和文献进行的审查显示了潜在的好处，但也令人担忧的是，多年来一直在培育和支持的授权针头供应计划可能会削弱脆弱的公众和政治支持。
Where authorized access to needles and syringes from exchanges and pharmacies is limited, secondary exchange (SE) can provide an important source of sterile injecting equipment. Interventions can be developed to use SE to facilitate needle and syringe exchange programs to reach a wider population of drug injectors. Yet in a context such as Western Australia, where needles and syringes are available to drug injectors from many authorized sources, the added benefit of SE is unknown. This review of data and literature conducted in October 2003 shows potential benefits but also concerns about undermining vulnerable public and political support for authorized needle provision schemes that has been nurtured and supported over a number of years.
