Report on first Year of Supervised Injection site in Vancouver
Evaluation of the Supervised Injection Site
North America's first government sanctioned Supervised Injection Facility (SIF) was opened in Vancouver on September 22, 2003. The Federal government approval for the three-year pilot study was granted on the condition that the health and social impacts of Insite undergo a
rigorous external scientific evaluation.
The BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS is coordinating the evaluation component and is responsible for measuring the impact of the SIF. A
more detailed review of the evaluation methods will be published in the Harm Reduction Journal in September 2004.
