Abstract:	Reviews the peer reviewed 127 papers) and grey (39) literature on the role people who inject drugs can play in the development of harm reduction initiatives as peer workers, peer helpers, or natural helpers. Concludes that research on harm reduction programs that involve people with lived experience can help understand these approaches and demonstrate their value.
