L’objectif

Peer Support Responders were trained under the Overdose Prevention & Resuscitation (CPR-OPR) program. A pre-course and post-course training survey was conducted to assess the impact of the training.

Constatations/points à retenir

The Peer Support Responder training received real-time feedback from participants during its pilot phase in March 2021, which provided an invaluable window into the firsthand experience of our participants. We would like to note that the creation and development of effective overdose response trainings requires not only scientific evidence but must also draw from the lived experiences of people who use drugs as well as the professional observations of frontline workers and service providers. As we continue our efforts to counter the overdose crisis, we embrace the principle of “Nothing About Us, Without Us”.

La conception ou méthodologie de recherche

Out of the 75 responders, sixty-six (66) responders participated in the pre-course training survey with 48 questions and sixty-two (62) participated in the post-course training survey with 28 questions.
