Helping people get naloxone education at ED discharge
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests ways to improve how people receive naloxone (an emergency overdose-reversal medicine) education when they leave the emergency department with a prescription kit. It may help patients and caregivers feel more confident using naloxone during an overdose emergency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
