Demonstrating harm minimisation’s three-pillars through the example of inhalant use by young people

by Dovetail

This video provides an example of the three pillars of harm minimisation—supply reduction, demand reduction, and harm reduction—demonstrated through an increase of young people inhaling deodorant can fumes for intoxication.

(Supply reduction involves stopping, reducing or regulating the supply of illegal or legal substances. Demand reduction seeks to prevent or delay the uptake of AOD use, reduce their misuse and assist people to recover from AOD issues. Harm reduction aims to lessen adverse health, social and economic consequences of AOD use for individuals and the community.)
