First seen Mar 06, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tests whether people who use opioids can be trained as peer educators to teach their friends and family how to prevent overdoses and reduce stigma. Researchers will enroll 600 adults in Baltimore who use opioids and ask them to recruit at least one person who does not use drugs. The study will track overdoses and drug use over time to see if this approach works.
