Estimating the cost-effectiveness of needle-syringe programs in Australia
Latest mathematical model from Australia broadly applicable also to the UK suggests that offering injectors infection-free injecting equipment has cost-effectively saved/improved lives, and in the long run will save the health service money due to averted HIV and hepatitis C related illnesses. But in both countries adequately curbing hepatitis C requires much more.

A Fresh Approach to Drugs: the final report of the UK Drug Policy Commission
UKDPC proposes a radical rethink of how we structure our response to drug problems. It provides an analysis of the evidence for how policies and interventions could be improved, with recommendations for policymakers and practitioners to address the new and established challenges associated with drug use

Can needle and syringe programmes and opiate substitution therapy achieve substantial reductions in hepatitis C virus prevalence?
A simulation model for the UK and other countries was used to estimate the impact on the spread of hepatitis C virus of scaling-up opiate substitution therapy and high coverage needle and syringe programmes.
