Your PICOT question is well-structured, but there are a few improvements and adjustments that can be made to make it more nursing-focused and clear for conducting a database search. Here's a revised version:
In homeless individuals with fentanyl/opioid addiction, does the implementation of supervised injection sites, as compared to abstinence-promotion programs, lead to a greater reduction in substance-related self-harm incidents over a 2-year period?
Feedback and Tips:
Specify the Population: It's essential to specify the population clearly. In this case, you mentioned "homeless individuals with fentanyl/opioid addiction," which is good.

Comparison: You mentioned "abstinence-promotion programs," which is also clear.
Outcome: You mentioned "greater reduction in substance-related self-harm incidents," which is specific and measurable.
Time Frame: You specified a 2-year period, which is clear.
Nursing Focus: To make it more nursing-focused, you could consider adding specific nursing interventions or outcomes related to nursing care, such as the impact of nursing support or education in these programs.
