Abstract

In March 2017, the Centre for Criminology, University of South Wales, was asked to provide evidence of the effectiveness of Medically Supervised Injection Centres (MSICs) to the Welsh Government’s Advisory Panel on Substance Misuse. The research comprised collating evidence via a review of systematic reviews of MSICs. This report presents a thematic analysis of the findings from this review. This report is structured into four main parts. The first deals with the methodological process of conducting a review of systematic reviews. The second, third and fourth sections present evidence of the effectiveness of MSICs, an overview of the cost-effectiveness of MSICs and recent literature on MSICs published in 2014 or after. The review concludes with an overview of key findings.
