公共卫生和警察专业人员查明了在执行罗得岛的注射器获取法和警察职业安全教育方面存在的差距，开展了警察培训，以提高法律的知识，改善对注射器获取的态度，并解决针刺伤害问题。基线数据（94名官员）证实了对针刺伤害，法律的知识差，职业风险高估的焦虑。在接受培训之前，受访者认为注射器的使用促进了毒品的使用（51%），增加了警察针刺伤害的可能性（58%），并未能减少流行病（38%）。培训前到培训后的评估表明，法律的和职业安全知识的显着变化，对注射器访问的态度的变化是有希望的。将职业安全与注射器获取内容相结合的培训可以帮助使执法与公共卫生目标保持一致。需要更多的研究来评估街头效应，并为干预措施的调整提供信息。(Am J公共卫生。2011;101：2012-2015。doi：10.2105/AJPH.2011.300254）
Having identified gaps in implementation of Rhode Island's syringe access law and police occupational safety education, public health and police professionals developed police training to boost legal knowledge, improve syringe access attitudes, and address needlestick injuries. Baseline data (94 officers) confirmed anxiety about needlestick injuries, poor legal knowledge, and occupational risk overestimation. Before training, respondents believed that syringe access promotes drug use (51%), increases likelihood of police needlestick injuries (58%), and fails to reduce epidemics (38%). Pretraining to posttraining evaluation suggested significant shifts in legal and occupational safety knowledge; changes in attitudes toward syringe access were promising. Training that combines occupational safety with syringe access content can help align law enforcement with public health goals. Additional research is needed to assess street-level effect and to inform intervention tailoring. (Am J Public Health. 2011;101:2012-2015. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2011.300254)
