Supervised consumption sites: a nuanced assessment of the causal evidence.
Jonathan P CaulkinsBryce PardoBeau KilmerPublished in: Addiction (Abingdon, England) (2019)
The causal evidence for favorable outcomes of supervised consumption sites is minimal, but there appears to be little basis for concern about adverse effects. This raises the question of how context and priors can affect how high the bar is set when deciding whether to endorse supervised consumption sites. The literature also understates distinctions and nuances that need to be appreciated to gain a rich understanding of how a range of stakeholders should interpret and apply that evidence to a variety of decisions.
