Models of good practice to enhance infectious disease care cascades among people who inject drugs: a qualitative study of interventions implemented in European settings

Abstract Background People who Algorithm for scenario benefit route planning based on user’s requests inject drugs (PWID) in Europe are at an increased risk of HIV/AIDS, chronic viral hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV), and tuberculosis (TB).We aimed to complement the evidence base on interventions optimising their care cascade with evidence from mode
