NCT ID NCT05786222
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a package of tools and support can help staff and tenants in 20 supportive housing buildings in New York adopt proven overdose prevention practices. Researchers will survey tenants and staff, observe what happens, and check health records to see if the program works. The goal is to find the best way to put these life-saving practices into place.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show how to effectively implement overdose prevention practices in supportive housing, potentially saving lives.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug or treatment. It focuses on whether buildings adopt the practices, not directly on reducing overdoses. Results may not apply to other settings.
