NYC study to reveal if overdose prevention centers save lives and improve mental health

This study looks at how overdose prevention centers (OPCs) in New York City impact the risk of fatal and non-fatal overdoses, as well as mental health crises, among adults who use multiple drugs. Researchers will track 500 people who use OPCs or syringe services to see if these centers help reduce overdoses and improve access to mental health care. The goal is to understand what works best and identify barriers to integrating mental health services into these programs.
