New Publication!

A new paper out of USF EM, led by Heather Henderson, PhD, CAP, CRPS, has been published in Harm Reduction Journal! The manuscript highlights an opt-out screening model at a syringe services program (SSP), leading to higher participation rates, earlier detection, & improved linkage to care for people at risk of HIV & HCV. These findings emphasize how routine, anonymous screening can be a scalable model for harm reduction programs nationwide. The team includes Jason W. Wilson, MD, PhD, CPE, FACEP, Bernice McCoy, PhD, MPH, USF anthropology PhD candidate, Megan Sarmento and internal medicine colleague Asa Oxner MD.
