Article Synopsis
- Opioid overdose death rates are significantly higher in rural U.S. communities, and BLS personnel there administer naloxone less frequently compared to urban areas.
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of a training program for rural EMTs on opioid overdose response, showing substantial improvements in knowledge and attitudes regarding naloxone use after the training.
- This evidence supports the idea of expanding naloxone access to EMTs, coinciding with legislative changes enabling them to administer the life-saving drug.
