Increasing Naloxone Access for Persons Who Use Opioids: An Online Recruitment and Training Approach to Opioid Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Opioid Overdose Education with Naloxone Distribution and Opioid Overdose Education for Naloxone. Completed, enrolled 111 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
Deaths relating to opioid overdose have rapidly increased over the past two decades. Due to the serious public health concern of the opioid epidemic, federal agencies recommend employing various harm reduction interventions. The implementation of Opioid Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution (OEND) programs is effective in reducing opioid overdose mortality, yet these programs do not reach many high-risk individuals. Traditionally, OEND program venues are found in large, urban medical centers, drug treatment facilities, and needle exchange programs. Identifying unreached, high-risk individuals and providing training and naloxone kits through online recruitment could significantly expand access to this life-saving intervention. The primary goal of the current proposed project is to examine the acceptability and feasibility of online recruitment, online opioid overdose and naloxone administration education, and postal distribution of naloxone kits.
