Naloxone Training From Nonmedical Personnel: Benefits Before, During, and After Overdose Events
Conclusions:
The results of the current study substantiate the effectiveness of naloxone in reversing overdose symptoms. A brief, 15-minute naloxone training delivered by nonmedical personnel enhanced overdose knowledge and led to positive reversal outcomes. Training persons who use opioids in dyads may offer additional benefits and improve follow-up reporting.
