Young people, drugs and harm reduction

Submission status
Closed
The Harm Reduction Journal invites you to submit research articles and commentaries to the new thematic series: Young people, drugs and harm reduction. With support from the Robert Carr Fund, Youth RISE will cover the open access fees for a select number of accepted publications. We encourage submissions on a wide range of topics that relate to young people who use drugs (under 30 years of age) and harm reduction, broadly construed. Articles should include some consideration of the notion of intersectionality; that is, they should attend to the ways that age, gender, sexual orientation, class, race, ability and/or geography intersect to shape youth’s experiences of and engagements with drug use and harm reduction. Submissions which reflect non-traditional views and approaches to harm reduction are strongly encouraged, as are submissions produced by young people who use drugs and researchers from lower- and middle-income countries. Articles should consider best and promising practices and identify future areas for action, advocacy, and research. This Special Series benefits from a partnership with Filter magazine. Filter will work with Youth RISE and authors to produce and publish a series of accessible articles, with a view to broadening the reach of work published in this series. All articles in this series will undergo the journal’s full standard peer review process. In the submission system, please make sure that the correct collection title is chosen from the “additional information” tab. Please also indicate in the covering letter that the manuscript is to be considered for the “Young People, Drugs and Harm Reduction” thematic series. Submissions are invited until September 21st 2021. For further information, please contact the Editors.
