Harm reduction approaches predicted to reduce rates of new hepatitis C infection for people who inject drugs
Needle and syringe exchange appears to be cost-effective, especially if considering the health gains from preventing HIV transmission too. Although the evidence is from observational studies, and the extent of the benefit might uncertain, the nature of the topic makes it difficult to gather evidence in any other way and compared to the cost of treating the consequences of hepatitis later, seems good value (NIHR)
