abstract="The article in this issue by Alan Leshner tackles one of the most contentious issues in drug use policy today and argues that we should dispense with &quot;harm reduction&quot; altogether--not the programs, policies, and interventions to which this term refers but the term itself. He makes the case that the initial clarity and simplicity of the phrase &quot;harm reduction&quot; have evolved into an emotion-laden designation that is interfering with the implementation and evaluation of public health programs.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
