MODEL SURVEY REMINDERS

Hello,

The North American Syringe Exchange Network (NASEN), the National Harm Reduction Coalition (NHRC) and RTI International are conducting the National Survey of Syringe Services Programs (NSSSP) throughout the United States and its territories and Tribal Nations. The purpose of the NSSSP is to document the capacity, needs, access, and service gaps among syringe services programs. We reached out to you with an invitation to complete the survey about 2 weeks ago and have not yet received a response from your program. We understand that filling out surveys takes time away from the important work you do providing syringe services. Your program’s response is important to us as we want as many programs as possible to be represented. Your voice can contribute to a broader understanding of how best to support programs like yours moving forward.

Here are two examples of recent publications from this collaborative work:

• Ingenuity and Resiliency of Syringe Service Programs on the Front Lines of the Opioid Overdose and COVID-19 Crises

• Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution Within Syringe Service Programs - United States, 2019

To date, [#] programs have filled out the 2023 NSSSP and it has taken most people around 20-30 minutes to complete.

We would like the director of your program (or their delegate) to fill out the survey, and we will compensate your organization $125 for participating. You can access a PDF of the questionnaire and FAQs here [embed links]. We recommend reviewing both and gathering the information you need before starting the survey. If you have questions, email Lynn Wenger at [email protected].

When you are ready, please send your responses for [Insert Program Name] using the following survey link:

We greatly appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to respond to the survey.

Best regards,

[Survey Team]
