Evidence-Based Drug Information Project

The main goal for the project is to provide evidence-based information to drug users in a readable format, offering scientific facts to help them understand the current landscape of adulterants and how they can implement harm reduction and health promotion to their lives. This will involve several different steps for the learners, including: - Researching and compiling scientific facts and evidence-based information on adulterants and their effects. - Creating a readable format for the public to understand the information. - Developing strategies for implementing harm reduction and health promotion based on the gathered information. - Collaborating with experts and frontline workers to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information.

Drug-Policy Implication Study

We are planning to implement a policy, however before we do we would like to understand the expected implications of it within this population. This way, we will be able to mitigate any risks that the policy may pose by making adjustments before it is implemented. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Identifying similar policies that have been implemented in other populations. Comparing our policy to other policies and researching the implications that they have had. Conducting interviews with people in the populations affected by these similar policies. Identifying risks and effects that are created by our policy. Creating recommendations on how we could change or improve our policy to make it as effective as possible.

Digital Magazine for Nutritional Harm Reduction for Alcohol Drinkers

The J Healthcare Initiative is seeking to support the marketing efforts of a community-led harm reduction initiative by publishing a digital magazine focused on the Downtown Eastside community. The project aims to highlight the efforts a community led group formed in 2011 to advocate for illicit drinkers within the harm reduction movement. The magazine will serve as an educational tool to improve the lives of Managed Alcohol Program participants through empowerment and support. It will address issues such as ending liquor pour-outs, creating safe outdoor spaces, changing shelter policies, expanding Managed Alcohol Programs, and ensuring that drinkers' voices are included in alcohol policy discussions. The goal is to reduce discrimination and promote safety among illicit drinkers.

Identifying types of emails and content that our company should send out such as welcome emails, newsletters, and re-engagement emails. Researching factors affecting the effectiveness of email marketing such as when emails are sent and making recommendations. Identifying metrics to monitor throughout the campaign. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Identifying ways to personalize emails for customers based on market segmentation.
