The theme of this year’s conference “From Research to Action” encompassed a continuum including current, cutting edge research on harm reduction and hepatitis C; vibrant, thriving programs/services; user initiatives/groups; and emerging/challenging topics/issues relevant to programs, services and people in Ontario. We heard from a balance of presenters ranging from researchers; community members/service users; NEP programs; other harm reduction programs; and other interested sectors.
