Summary

This pilot study tests whether a brief overdose prevention education, including naloxone training, is feasible and acceptable for youth ages 13-26 during routine primary care visits. Providers will deliver the intervention to some youth, while others receive usual care. The study aims to see if this approach can be implemented in real-world clinics and whether youth find it helpful.

Brief overdose prevention education and naloxone information

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a scalable, evidence-based overdose prevention program for youth in primary care settings.

This is a very small pilot study (24 participants) focused on feasibility, not effectiveness. It may not show a reduction in overdose rates or be generalizable beyond this single center.
