Motivation to Change and Treatment Participation Among Syringe Service Program Utilizers in Rural Kentucky

This study explores the role SSPs play in rural Kentucky in connecting PWID with services. The authors of this reasearch conclude "rurally located Syringe Services Programs (SSPs) may play an important role in supporting confidence and motivation to change substance use behaviors among people who inject drugs impacted by SUD. SSPs may be critical venues for integration and expansion of prevention, health promotion, and treatment linkage services for this underserved population."
