[HIV-STD-Prevention] SHaRP Salons: Community Conversations on Harm Reduction Data #u#

[Bortoli Gianna A]

Good afternoon all,

The University of Washington Supporting Harm Reduction Programs (SHaRP) Team, in partnership with The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), is thrilled to announce a three-part online discussion series, SHaRP Salons: Community Conversations on Harm Reduction Data.

Each hourlong meeting will focus on data-related challenges common to harm reduction programs in the US and will consist of short introductory presentations followed by facilitated discussions among participants. While all are welcome to attend, these discussions will be oriented toward harm reduction program staff and people who use drugs. Meetings will not be recorded, and a summary of main points will be posted online and distributed to attendees.

Session Schedule:

Thursday, February 29: How can we improve our data quality?
The SHaRP Team will briefly outline recommendations and good practices for high-quality, low-barrier data collection and facilitate conversation among Salon participants to share lessons learned and on-the-ground expertise. The conversation may include discussion on minimizing data to maximize quality, privacy considerations, staff training, and negotiating reporting requirements with funders.

Thursday, March 14: Sharing data with community and participants
The SHaRP Team will introduce considerations and recommendations for data dissemination and foster discussion among Salon participants about common challenges and methods of sharing program data publicly. This session may cover deciding what data to share, framing data for participants and other community members, and dissemination methods.

Thursday, March 28: Asking sensitive questions
The SHaRP Team will facilitate discussion on some of the most sensitive data points common to harm reduction programs. Harm reduction program participants often find themselves at the nexus of multiple criminalized identities, and programs are often tasked with using data to advocate for social change while respecting participant dignity, autonomy, and privacy. Focusing on recommended indicators from their community-informed SSP Indicators project, the SHaRP team will solicit recommendations and challenges associated with data points on structural violence and overdose.

The UW SHaRP team is no longer funded by the National Harm Reduction Technical Assistance Center (NHRTAC) and this project is not associated with NHRTAC.
