A smarter way to hand out overdose reversal kits?
NCT ID NCT05886712
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a strategy called SAIA-N, which uses coaching and data review to help syringe service programs in California distribute more naloxone, a medication that reverses opioid overdoses. About 31 programs will either use this strategy for a year or continue their usual approach. Researchers will compare how many people receive naloxone and whether the strategy is cost-effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Naloxone
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this strategy could help syringe service programs distribute more naloxone, potentially reducing opioid overdose deaths in high-risk communities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (31 programs) in one state, so results may not apply broadly. The strategy requires time and resources, and its cost-effectiveness is still unknown.
