BACKGROUND A breadth of literature exists that explores the utilization of research evidence in policy change processes. From this work, a number of studies suggest research evidence is applied to change processes by policy change stakeholders primarily through instrumental, conceptual, and/or symbolic applications, or is not used at all. Despite the expansiveness of research on policy change p...

BACKGROUND Programmatic data from New York City syringe exchange programs suggest that many clients visit the programs infrequently and take few syringes per transaction, while separate survey data from individuals using these programs indicate that frequent injecting - at least daily - is common. Together, these data suggest a possible "syringe gap" between the number of injections performed b...

This document describes new Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) groups for use in the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) protocols in addition to previously defined groups. Specifically, the new curve groups are based on modular arithmetic rather than binary arithmetic. These new groups are defined to align IKE and IKEv2 with other ECC implementations and stan...

Many network services and protocols can work correctly only when freshness of messages sent between participants is assured and when the protocol parties’ internal clocks are adjusted. In this paper we present a novel, secure and fast procedure which can be used to ensure data freshness and clock synchronization between two communicating parties. Next, we show how this solution can be used in o...

Injection drug use is an ongoing urban health crisis in China and one of the largest drivers of the transmission of HIV/AIDS. Sentinel surveillance sites in Yunnan province show upwards of 20% of injection drug users (IDUs) are HIV positive. Though the Ministry of Health has scaled-up needle exchange programs (NEPs), they have not received official government recognition nor have they been exte...

In Canada, harm reduction has largely become accepted as the philosophical underpinning of the public health response to substance use. Examples of harm reduction strategies include methadone maintenance, needle exchange and server intervention programs. In general, these harm reduction interventions have had adult substance users as their implicit target. Increasingly, however, harm reduction ...

Information about injection drug users' lifestyles is necessary to develop effective harm reduction strategies. One way to gather this information is through needle exchange programs. In 1998, a convenience sample of 100 clients of Saskatoon's needle exchange service was interviewed about their injection and sexual practices. Ritalin and morphine were the most commonly injected drugs. Over half...

Only recently have investigative teams focused their research on understanding the effects of supervision on key outcomes, largely in response to the implementation science movement. Two steps are necessary to better understand the effects of supervision and set the stage for subsequent research to identify evidence-based supervision structures, methods, and content. First, critical domains of ...
