Your paper should be 10 12 pages and include the following components: 1. Proposal for the paper: Defining the IssueA concise overview on your topic which integrates the problem and integrates a brief review of relevant literature. This section should draw your reader into the paper, pique her/his interest. Be very focused, clear and to the point. I would like the research paper to be focused on Overdose Prevention Sites specifically here in the United States and Maine. There have been other very successful models in Portugal and Vancover but here in the United States they are not allowing them and not passing legislation for them. In Maine there have been many non-profits such as Maine Opiate Collaboration, Health Equity Alliance, National Harm Reduction Coalition, Maine Access Points, Portland Needle Exchange and Shatterproof that are working to increase awareness around Harm Reduction Principles and opening an Overdose Prevention Site but it has not happened yet. Two years ago they tried to work with Portland, Maine’s City Council on the idea but was asked to leave but on November 10th this year there is a hearing being held on a possibility of one being opened in Portland now.Also including Harm Reduction Principles, how Covid-19 has increased the opiate epidemic, the stigma associated with having a substance use disorder, please use person first language. Talk about the moral approach versus the medical/disease model, Also as social workers out job is to advocate, allow for self-determination and minimize consequences. This is for social workers working with a harm reduction model for substance use disorder.
