L’objectif
This study evaluated the effectiveness of online opioid overdose and naloxone administration education and the impact of naloxone possession.
Constatations/points à retenir
Overdose education is effective in online video format. Disparity in naloxone possession across groups indicates barriers to obtaining naloxone from pharmacies. Naloxone possession did not influence risky opioid use or treatment interest and its impact on frequency of use warrants further investigation.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
Participants watched a 20-minute video outlining signs of opioid overdose and how to administer naloxone. They were then randomized to either receive a naloxone kit or be given instructions on where to obtain a kit.
