Harm reduction aims to reduce the negative consequences of drug use without requiring abstinence. It focuses on keeping people safe and healthy. Examples include needle exchange programs to prevent disease transmission and medication-assisted treatment to help stabilize drug use. The goals are to save lives, improve health, support relationships, and reduce stigma and isolation for drug users. Harm reduction takes a non-judgmental approach and recognizes that abstinence may not always be immediately achievable, so the priority is harm minimization through accessible services regardless of how drugs were used.

Five ethical principles - autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, fidelity, and justice - provide a framework. Unhealthy strategies like overemphasizing rules without principles are discussed. The presentation involves examining examples of received wisdom that may not be helpful, like assumptions about informed consent, self-disclosure, and referral practices. It aims to have participants thoughtfully evaluate common beliefs through discussion.

This document discusses health promotion among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHIV/AIDS) in Nepal. It outlines several guiding principles for health promotion, including universal access to services and human rights. Several theories are described that are applicable for health promotion for PLWHIV/AIDS, including the health belief model, stages of change model, and diffusion of innovation. Strategic directions include identifying and reaching key populations, offering HIV testing and treatment regardless of CD4 count, and enhancing program enablers. Challenges to health promotion for this group include limited resources, stigma, and inadequate surveillance.
This document discusses stigma related to substance use disorders. It defines different types of stigma, including public stigma, self-stigma, perceived stigma, label avoidance, stigma by association, structural stigma, and health practitioner stigma. Stigma creates barriers to treatment and recovery. The language used to describe substance use disorders can impact stigma, so person-first and recovery-centered language is recommended. Reducing stigma requires efforts like educating staff, communities, and media; engaging in policy discussions; and using evidence-based tools. Current events can also influence levels of stigma.
Inhalant disorders are induced by inhaling the aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons found in substances such as fuels, solvents, adhesives, aerosol propellants, and paint thinners. When inhaled, they cause euphoria, sedation, emotional lability, and impaired judgment.
Self-medication is a growing global concern that can contribute to antimicrobial resistance. While it provides benefits like convenience and cost savings, it also poses risks if not done properly, such as incorrect diagnosis, inappropriate treatment, and adverse drug reactions. Health professionals and pharmacists can help prevent these risks through education, guidance on proper use, and encouraging medical consultation when needed.

The document provides an overview of the public health model (PHM). It defines public health and explains that public health aims to provide conditions for population-level health as opposed to focusing only on individual patients or diseases. It then defines the PHM as a model that comprehensively addresses health or social problems by considering human and environmental factors and identifying causes to suggest interventions. Key aspects of the PHM are that it takes a population-level approach and focuses on prevention, promotion, surveillance and service evaluation in addition to traditional areas like diagnosis and treatment. Examples of applying the PHM to violence prevention and child welfare services are also provided.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
