L’objectif
Racial/ethnic minorities have experienced disproportionate opioid-related overdose death rates in recent years. In this context, we examined inequities in community-based naloxone access across racial/ethnic groups in Massachusetts.
Constatations/points à retenir
Regions with high overdose rates received more naloxone. Despite segregated regions receiving more naloxone, minority residents received less.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
Data from: the Massachusetts Department of Public Health on community-based overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) programs; the Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on opioid-related overdose deaths, and; the United States Census American Community Survey for regional demographic/socioeconomic details.
