Constatations/points à retenir
The following participation benefits were reported, even if no naloxone administration occurred following training: improved sense of control and competency in potential overdose and other emergency situations, heightened feelings of responsibility to help others, overcoming social stigma, increased pride, confidence and self-esteem, renewed sense of hope, and changed drug use behaviours, namely reduced at-risk consumption behaviours.
