ClinConnect Summary

The PERRCEP trial is studying how staff members working in prisons and detention centers in Brittany feel about the use of illegal drugs and harm reduction strategies—methods aimed at reducing the negative effects of drug use. The researchers are using an anonymous questionnaire to gather opinions from these staff members. They also want to find out if there are any training needs that could help staff better support harm reduction practices for inmates.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be employees at certain detention centers in the Brittany region, specifically those who have filled out the questionnaire. The study is currently active but not recruiting new participants. Staff members who choose to participate can expect to provide their thoughts and experiences about drug use in prisons, which will help shape future training and policies. It's important to note that individuals who do not want to participate or are under legal protection are not eligible for this study.
