“…Based on the evidence for distinct injury/morbidity risks associated with crack use (Faruque et al, 1996;Fischer, Powis, Firestone Cruz, Rudzinski, & Rehm, 2008;Haydon & Fischer, 2005;Porter, Bonilla, & Drucker, 1997), 'safer crack use paraphernalia' (SCUP) distribution initiatives have been implemented in select locales as targeted efforts to reduce such risk outcomes. SCUP programs are typically offered as community-based outreach initiatives, distributing simple 'kits' of basic materials (e.g., break-safe glass stems, rubber mouthpieces, metal screens for safer crack pipe assembly; (Haydon & Fischer, 2005;Malchy, Bungay, Johnson, & Buxton, 2011) -plus basic information and health promotion elements -to facilitate safer crack use practices.…”
