Satellite Syringe Exchange Program: Welcome

Overview

Materials created for this project were developed by the project staff at the five participating sites, many times with input from program participants. Duplication and adaptation of these materials is encouraged. Please give credit wherever possible. Please note that training segments are ordered differently in different sites; although we have broken these trainings into topic areas for convenience of download, each section depends somewhat on the other sections in its training curriculum to be fully effective.
