Webinars and Recorded Trainings
Below are all SHaRP TA resources related to webinars and recorded trainings
Estimating Individual Syringe Coverage at Syringe Services Programs (last updated: July 25, 2023)
Syringe coverage is an indicator that can help SSPs and other stakeholders estimate if people who inject drugs have enough syringes to reduce risks of infections and vein damage. This guidance is focused on calculating syringe coverage for the participants of one program and for sub-groups of participants of a program (e.g. participants who are unhoused). Health departments and researchers who work with SSPs could use this information to meaningfully engage with harm reduction staff to survey people who inject drugs and assess resource gaps. This guidance is supplemented by an example spreadsheet and a brief summary of the evidence to support needs-based syringe distribution. A recording of a webinar that covers this, and a summary of the evidence for needs based distribution, can be found here.
Leveraging Informal Qualitative Data at SSPs: Video Training
Since the development of the Leveraging Informal Qualitative Data at SSPs guidance document, we’ve led multiple online and in-person trainings of the content. On this page we have video recordings of the training materials. The videos are divided into 5 sections, with each section containing one or more videos. Descriptions of each section and links to videos are detailed below. We recommend that you watch videos in order. The recording of the webinar launching this TA can be found here.
Qualitative Data Quality at Harm Reduction Programs Webinar (last updated: October 23, 2024)
On this webinar recording (September 19th, 2024) from the SHaRP team reviews and discusses common sources of qualitative data at SSPs, identifies some good practices for collecting qualitative data, and determines how to set an objective using and assess the quality of pre-existing qualitative data.
SSP Indicators Implementation Guide (last updated: August, 2024)
In 2023 and 2024 the SHaRP team worked to create a list of community informed indicators, or data points, that we could recommend SSPs collect. The guidance includes an introduction and webinar recording, project background and methods, detailed information on each indicator divided by topic (supply and service provision, service coverage, service quality, engagement with people who use drugs, overdose prevention, demographics, and structural violence); an implementation checklist, and a brief to funders.
Summary of the Evidence for Needs-Based Syringe Distribution (last updated: July, 2023)
This summarizes the peer-reviewed evidence that supports needs-based syringe distribution (up until July, 2023) for SSPs, stakeholders, or governmental officials looking to support or build support for allowing needs-based distribution. It also includes a section on tips on messaging. A recording of a webinar that covers this, and estimating syringe coverage, can be found here.
Using M&E to Better Serve Your Community: A Four-Part Webinar Series for Health Departments and SSPs
In collaboration with the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO). These webinars, held over the course of 2021 and 2022 covered topics including client-centered models for M&E, statewide data systems, data dashboards for M&E, and the launch of the Point in Time Survey Toolkit.
What Can Your Data Do for You? in collaboration with AIDS United and the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO). July 6, 2022. The SHaRP team in collaboration with AIDS United and NACCHO discuss the role of data in grant reporting and program evaluation. Learn how to gather and incorporate data in program evaluation, and much more.(Slides available here.)
In this webinar, we briefly review the indicators, go more in depth into what information you can find in the guide and how we hope it will be useful to you, and provide time for questions. We also be presenting on Considerations for Funders, which includes recommendations on data collection for funders of SSPs to consider based on feedback we’ve heard from SSPs throughout this process.
