Volunteer naloxone responders for opioid overdose emergencies
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial trains volunteers to give naloxone, a medication that reverses opioid overdoses, using a smartphone app to alert nearby responders. It could help save lives by getting antidote treatment to overdose victims faster.
