Harm Reduction Journal publishes paper on the evaluation of the Digital Lifelines Scotland programme

In July 2024, the Harm Reduction Journal published a paper that reports on the evaluation of the Digital Lifelines Scotland (DLS) programme from the perspective of service users who accessed services for those at risk of drug-related harms. It presents a unique perspective which documents the experiences of service users on the DLS.

Participants illustrated a desire for life improvement and a collective and individual feeling of responsibility towards themselves and digital devices. Digital inclusion has the potential to provide avenues by which service users can safely and constructively access services and society to improve outcomes. This paper provides a foundation to further cultivate the insight of service users on digital solutions in this emerging area.
