Overdose education and naloxone distribution program design informed by people who use drugs and naloxone distributors. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • People who use drugs are mainly affected by overdoses, but overdose education programs usually focus on their friends and family instead of them.
  • A study interviewed people who use drugs and those who distribute naloxone to find out how to make overdose prevention programs better.
  • Participants wanted naloxone to be more available in their community, with a focus on peer support and addressing issues around drug use.

Article Abstract

People who use drugs (PWUD) are the most directly affected by the overdose epidemic. However, they are not often targets of overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) programs. Instead, these programs target friends or family members of people prescribed opioids or general community members. This study aimed to understand the perspectives of PWUD and community naloxone distributors on OEND program design. We used a community-based participatory research model to elucidate participant perspectives on what OEND programs should look like in the context of each individual's specific risk environment. We conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with PWUD and naloxone distributors (n = 30) in New Brunswick and Newark, New Jersey between February and November of 2022. We analyzed interviews using thematic analysis and identified the following themes: increasing naloxone knowledge, peer-based naloxone access, increasing PWUD-informed OEND program design, and desired broader OEND program scope. All Participants knew what naloxone was and emphasized that naloxone needed to be ubiquitous in the community. Participants prioritized peer-based distribution, integrating distribution into community organizations, and addressing psychosocial issues related to naloxone administration and drug use. In summary, PWUD and community naloxone distributors emphasized peer-led community naloxone distribution that prioritized novel ways for PWUD to access naloxone. OEND program design should prioritize PWUD's perspectives and direct community naloxone distribution.
