It's what the community demands: Results of community-based emergency opioid overdose trainings.

This rapidly implemented training was associated with improving attitudes and knowledge about responding to an opioid-involved overdose. We recommend expanding the scope of studies like these in order to develop and examine effective, dynamic, and targeted OEND training tailored towards specific community groups and situations, such as polysubstance overdose among service industry workers. As the opioid epidemic worsens, it is critical to equip community members themselves with the skills and tools to recognize and respond to opioid overdoses as a frontline prevention to overdose deaths.
