Abstract
Harm reduction is an approach that reduces the negative consequences of health behaviours without necessarily eliminating them. It is generally accepted that the first harm reduction model emerged in the 1970s and 1980s as a response to infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis B. Benefits of harm reduction programs have been recognised widely since the 1990s with the emergence of methadone and other maintenance drugs.1
