This article introduces the special issue on Harm Reduction Strategies to Address Substance Misuse and the Associated Challenges. We describe the impact of substance use disorder and the role of harm reduction approaches in promoting recovery. Then, we introduce the six articles in this special issue that collectively illustrate the breadth of contemporary harm reduction research, spanning settings from jails to college campuses, populations from people experiencing homelessness to college students in recovery, and methods from qualitative interviews to longitudinal cohort analysis.
