Talk:Harm reduction

New page on harm reduction in the U.S.

Hello all! I am considering creating a new child page on harm reduction specifically in the U.S. There is currently one on the Atlanta Harm Reduction Coalition, and I think creating a page looking at harm reduction on the national level would be a good idea. --Skyef25 (talk)

Update: I will be creating a new article on harm reduction in the U.S. If any former or current contributors to this page have any tips for where to get started, please let me know! --Skyef25 (talk) 23:43, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

I have removed links to specific service providers, agencies, clinics

This article is on the general idea of "harm reduction" and inclusion of links to specific organizations is undue, much the same way including links to specific centers or providers in Plasmapheresis or kidney dialysis. Graywalls (talk) 05:43, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Hmmm. If you look at the kidney dialysis article, it does in fact mention specific organizations, e.g. when it states that "In 1913, Leonard Rowntree and John Abel of Johns Hopkins Hospital developed the first dialysis system which they successfully tested in animals." I think mentioning e.g. Insite in this article is similar to mentioning Johns Hopkins in that article. Prezbo (talk) 20:20, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Which has a contextual relevance in the development of the procedure. Not just selectively dropping names of providers that offer this service, or providers or clinics that were first to offer it in particular city/county/region/ on the west side Mississippi river.

Similar to what I said on the other talk page. If dialysis was controversial and legally disputed in the same way that syringe exchanges are, I'm sure the dialysis article would have more information about specific providers offering dialysis in different places. It has a "contextual relevance" in the history of this approach to public health. Prezbo (talk) 20:49, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Disagree. Graywalls (talk) 22:46, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
