The Action Kit is based on our own previous research, and builds on ideas from other theoretical and empirical work on health equity, TVIC, anti-racism and anti-Indigenous racism and substance use health / harm reduction. Key background publications and other resources are listed below and we acknowledge these important foundational and ongoing contributions to our work, which are threaded throughout the Action Kit.
