Reducing the health, social and economic burden of injecting drug use in Australia

注射吸毒(IDU)是健康和社会危害的不成比例的大来源。这一CRE将澳大利亚IDU领域的领先科学家--从事血液传播病毒流行病学和治疗、过量用药预防、司法卫生和精神卫生工作的研究人员--以及来自主要非政府组织的专家团结在一起。CRE将开发新的方法来改善注射吸毒者的健康，并减轻注射吸毒者对澳大利亚社区的健康和社会负担。

Injecting drug use (IDU) is a disproportionately large source of health and social harm. This CRE unites Australia’s leading scientists in the IDU field – researchers working on blood-borne virus epidemiology and treatment, overdose prevention, justice health and psychiatric health - and experts from key non-government organisations. The CRE will develop new ways to improve the health of injecting drug users, and reduce the health and social burden of IDU to the Australian community.
