TLDR
The analysis suggests that particular crackdown tactics, notably frequent police searches of participants' bodies and elevated surveillance of the precinct's public spaces, reconfigured participants' experiences of their bodies and the public spaces comprising the precinct in ways that adversely affected their capacity to engage in harm reduction.About:

The social structural production of HIV risk among injecting drug users.
TL;DR: It is argued that much of the most needed 'structural HIV prevention' is unavoidably political in that it calls for community actions and structural changes within a broad framework concerned to alleviate inequity in health, welfare and human rights.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk environments and drug harms: a social science for harm reduction approach.
TL;DR: The challenge is to generate empirical and theoretical work which encompasses both 'determined' and 'productive' relations of risk across social structures and everyday practices.

Methods for the Scientific Study of Discrimination and Health: An Ecosocial Approach.
TL;DR: An integrated embodied research approach must consider the structural level-past and present de jure and de facto discrimination; the individual level-issues of domains, nativity, and use of both explicit and implicit discrimination measures; and how current research methods likely underestimate the impact of racism on health.

Prevention of HIV infection for people who inject drugs: why individual, structural, and combination approaches are needed

TL;DR: Evidence on the effectiveness of individual-level approaches to prevention of HIV infection is summarized, global and regional coverage of opioid substitution treatment, needle and syringe programmes, and antiretroviral treatment is reviewed, and the effect of increased coverage and a combination of these three approaches on HIV transmission and prevalence in injecting drug users is modeled.

Public injecting and the need for ‘safer environment interventions’ in the reduction of drug‐related harm
Tim Rhodes,Jo Kimber,Will Small,John L. Fitzgerald,Thomas Kerr,Matthew Hickman,Greg Holloway +6 more
TL;DR: The micro-injecting environment is considered as a critical dimension of risk, exploring the need for 'safer injecting environment interventions', and three main forms of 's safer environment intervention' are identified: purpose-built drug consumption rooms; interventions within existing spatial relations; and spatial programming and urban design.

Snowball Sampling: Problems and Techniques of Chain Referral Sampling
Patrick Biernacki,Dan Waldorf +1 more
TL;DR: In spite of the fact that chain referral sampling has been widely used in qualitative sociological research, especially in the study of deviant behavior, the problems and techniques involved in its use have not been discussed.

Snowball Sampling—I
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present two different approaches to snowball sampling: the first is to ask a person to inform potential subjects about the research project and share the investigator's contact information, and then it is up to the potential subjects to contact the investigator.
