Put the answer where the question gets asked.
Most harm-reduction material reaches people after the fact. MixSafe reaches them in the minute they are deciding: 41 substances, every pair between them rated and sourced, free, with no account. It works when a poster, a sticker or a card is in the room at that moment. That placement is what we ask institutions for, and it is the only thing we ask them for.
What you get
Print assets, free
Flyers, stickers, table tents, tear-off sheets and pocket cards, ready for a campus printer or a copy shop. Light-ground versions print in black and white for a few cents a sheet. Ask for the ones that fit your placement, or the whole set.
A code per placement
Every sheet carries its own QR code, and every code is its own address on this site. Put one design in the library and another in a residence hall and you can see which one gets scanned, in aggregate. That is the whole of what is recorded: a count, per poster.
A card for the kits you already hand out
If your programme gives out naloxone or fentanyl test strips, a MixSafe card fits in the pouch. It leads with the one thing a strip cannot say — a negative result is not a safe result — and points at the checker for the rest.
The tool itself, unchanged
No institutional edition, no login, no branding on the answer. What a student opens from your poster is the same page as everyone else's, so nothing you put your name on says anything you did not check.
What your name will never be next to
- No accounts. Nothing on this site asks who someone is.
- Nothing that identifies a person is recorded. A campaign code identifies a poster, never a reader.
- Not medical advice, and never presented as a substitute for your health service.
- Never an endorsement of drug use. The ask is that people check, not that they mix.
- Absence of a documented interaction is shown as no data, not as safe.
Where the data comes from, and what it does not cover, is on the about page. The interaction chart is TripSit’s, credited on every page; the rest is researched and cited by MixSafe.
Who pays
Not the people using it, ever. MixSafe is built to be carried by campus health services, residence life, venues and festivals, harm-reduction organisations and grant funding. If your programme has a budget for materials, printing through it is the most useful thing it can do; if it has a budget for the tool, that is a conversation we would like to have. Neither is a condition of any of the above.
Get in touch
Say where the material would go and roughly how many people pass it. You will get the files, with codes of your own, and a note on what to print them on.
