ConclusionsAt two sites, MAP participants reported consuming more than twice the amount of alcohol administered on the program. At most sites, there was significant under‐reporting of outside drinking. Addressing the problem of outside drinking and total daily consumption is critical for achieving program goals of both short and long‐term harm reduction. (Source: Drug and Alcohol Review)

Self ‐reported injection practices among people who use drugs in French prisons: Public health implications (ANRS‐Coquelicot survey 2011–2013)
ConclusionsThe prevalences of injection practices and needle/syringe sharing in prisons are alarmingly high. Effective interventions to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases among people who use drugs in the prison setting are essential. The implementation of international recommendations on the principle of equivalence between prisons and the community is still very limited in most countries, and should be complemented with tailored interventions for the most vulnerable prison populations, especially Russian‐speaking detainees.
