  2. Fortuitous research beginnings • In November 2008 Safeworks began crack pipe distribution program • Safeworks wanted to build in a research component • The sales pitch failure that changed my education trajectory

  3. Status quo Research process thereafter • Proposal submitted to local ethics committee (Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board) in Spring 2010 and approved with minor change • Data collection began June 2010 and completed April 2011 • Preliminary data presented

  4. Crack pipe distribution aims • Prevention of Hepatitis C (Fischer, Powis, Firestone Cruz, Rudzinski, and Rehm (2008); Shannon, Rusch, Morgan, Oleson, and Kerr (2008); Tortu, McMahon, Pouget, and Hamid (2004); Neaigus, Gymarmathy, Zhao, Miller, Friedman, and Des Jarlais (2007)) • Prevention of HIV (DeBeck, Kerr, Li, Fiscger, Buxton, Montaner, and Wood (2009); McCoy, Lai, Metsch, Messiah, and Zhao (2004)) • Decrease injection of crack cocaine (Leonard, DeRubeis, Pelude, Medd, Birkett, and Seto (2008)) • Increase health care interactions with people who smoke crack cocaine (O’Byrne and Holmes, 2008)

  5. Research objectives • Primary objective was to determine whether Safeworks crack pipe distribution changes crack pipe sharing behavior • Other objectives were to determine whether the program changed: -crack smoking frequency -drug injecting frequency -service utilization

  6. Research design • Survey method • Population estimate 540 • Sample size 180 (6% margin of error) • Recruitment word of mouth, poster, flyer • Instrument was questionnaire
