Percentage scores on CHARPP program indicators by province or territory. All current harm reduction policy documents in a given jurisdiction were coded on 8 program quality indicators (1 = indicator met; 0 = indicator not met). We added together all program indicator scores of “1” for each case and divided by the potential total (8 × no. of documents in the case), resulting in a percentage score on program quality that could easily be compared between cases. The higher the case’s overall percentage score (out of a maximum of 100), the greater the number of policy documents in the case that exemplify high-quality harm reduction policy. Note that the Yukon Territory had no current harm reduction policy documents and is thus excluded from this figure
