Description of intervention(s) / exposure
BEHAVIORAL - Integrated Harm Reduction Intervention (IHRI)

Experimental: IHRI - Integrated harm reduction intervention (IHRI) program tailored specifically for highly marginalized Black and Latinx people who use drugs (PWUDs). The IHRI lasts 8 weeks in duration, with the first 4 weeks consisting of weekly education lessons provided by the IHRI care coordinator. The subsequent 4 weeks will involve individualized identification of vulnerabilities in the social determinants of health (SDOH) for the purposes of making informed referrals to relevant partnering social service organizations. Participants will also be exposed to service encounters through mobile vans in which staff offer information to PWUD on syringe exchange, clean user kits, naloxone use, and fentanyl strip distribution.

No intervention: HR SAU - Harm reduction services as usual (HR SAU). Participants will be exposed to service encounters through the mobile vans in which staff offer information to PWUD on syringe exchange, clean user kits, naloxone use, and fentanyl strip distribution.
