1. They can establish contact with hard-to-reach
populations (Hungerbuehler et al., 2011)
2. They identify discrepancies between what drug users
think they are using and what they actually consume
(Barratt & Ezard, 2015).
3. They can monitor drug markets and can be useful in
the monitoring and reporting of NPS (Vidal et al.,
2017).
4. They deliver health warnings and advice in a rapid
way, sometimes faster and better than those coming
from Health Authorities.
5. Their presence can act as a form of quality control
regulation (Brunt, 2017).

In general, our results confirm that the
supply of NPS in these markets is still
low.
However, DWM seem to be the place
where NPS can be sold in countries
where they are banned.

Big challenge: new scenarios for harm reduction
Lack of information about risks.
Speed with which the phenomenon
progresses.
Difficulty in identification of substances.
Disinformation from the media.
Internet and the new deep web marketplaces.
Cuts in public funding of harm reduction
projects
