For the Dutch awareness campaign on hepatitis C, Mainline developed a game called ‘Russian Roulette.’ A good tool for starting up conversations in different settings and fields of work. By making up their own questions, social workers can bring up sensitive issues in a light-hearted setting. The board game can be ordered via this website, starting September 20 2010.
Mainline and the Schorer Foundation conducted research into MSM (Men who have Sex with Men), substance use and high-risk behaviour. Some of the research questions were: which drugs does this group use and how does their use affect the susceptibility to infectious diseases?
The short, interactive workshop on safe injection practices forms part of the project Stimulating Needle Exchange. The workshop is given to users, and care providers working in drug consumption rooms, walk-in and needle exchange centres, and methadon distribution centres. Matters like materials/paraphernalia, techniques, health aspects and the possibilities to reduce risks are discussed.

Alcohol is the substance most combined with other substances. Mainline developed a The Big Hangover Game as a tool to discuss alcohol use. The game can be used with different target groups: from youth to hard-drug users.
Harm reduction is based on the principle that every substance user has the ability to intervene in his or her use. Every substance user also has the ability to unlock, strengthen and develop this potential.
