Logistic regression was used to assess predictors of treating an overdose.
At follow-up, participants were interviewed to determine the number and outcomes of opioid overdoses. Ninety-four participants could not be classified (17%). Participants were 30 police officers (5%), 188 people who use opioids (34%), 23 significant others (4%), and 217 social workers (39%). The program is built on the train-the-trainers model where a central trainer trains others (trainers), who in turn train others (helpers). Methodsīetween May 2013 and November 2015, 552 participants from four municipalities took part in the SL program. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and the effect of a broader “training-the-trainers” model in low-threshold settings after participation in the “Danish Save Lives” program.
However, no studies of such programs have been carried out in Denmark. Overdose education and naloxone distribution programs decrease opioid overdose deaths.
