Summary
This pilot study tested a training called Crisis Ready for people in a Baltimore diversion program. The training teaches how to use a crisis hotline and how to give naloxone to reverse an overdose. Researchers wanted to see if participants found the training likable and useful. Only 27 people took part, so the results are very early.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Crisis Ready Training (behavioral intervention combining crisis line facilitation and naloxone training)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this training could be a practical way to help people in diversion programs handle crises and prevent overdose or suicide.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 27 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It only measures acceptability, not whether it actually reduces crises.
