First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looks at whether having peer support workers—people who have personally used drugs—in the emergency department can make patients more comfortable and reduce the number who leave before their care is complete. About 3,181 adults who visit the ER and use substances can take part. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helps keep people safe.
