Harm Reduction
What is
harm reduction?
Harm
reduction can be defined as actions which decrease the adverse
health, social and economic consequences of engaging in HIGH-RISK
behaviours without requiring abstinence (e.g., smoking, alcohol
and drug use).
While health
promotion utilizes many of the same actions and strategies employed
by harm reduction, its focus is much broader than high-risk behaviours.
