In recent years, New York has seen well-publicized events of blood-borne pathogens being transmitted through unsafe injection practices, including the reuse of syringes.
The NYS Department of Health (DOH) is seeking input regarding the effectiveness of educational materials targeted at both healthcare providers and patients about injection safety. Through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the DOH is planning a public campaign to raise awareness of the dangers associated with unsafe practice and encouraging patients to ask questions.
The DOH is seeking help from RNs in evaluating the campaign by completing a brief online survey. This expertise will assist organizers of the national One and Only Campaign as they develop messages for providers and patients that appropriately and effectively communicate the importance of “one needle, one syringe, and only one time.”
