Study Summary

This trial will test whether providing information about and access to the opioid reversal medication naloxone to people who use drugs reduces overdose deaths.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 in Ohio who use street-bought drugs or prescriptions and can be contacted by phone or email. They must understand English and visit a Project DAWN site that's part of the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if teaching people how to use Fentanyl Test Strips (FTS) at certain Project DAWN sites helps prevent overdoses in both rural and urban areas.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct medical side effects from participating, as the intervention involves education on using FTS to detect fentanyl in drugs, which could reduce overdose risk.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Determine the perceived barriers and facilitating factors associated with incorporating FTS education and distribution in existing OEND programs in rural and urban counties.
Test the hypothesis that PWUD who receive FTS education and testing materials as part of an OEND program will have improved knowledge and self-efficacy regarding how to test drugs for fentanyl and strategies for lowering their risk of an opioid overdose.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Intervention ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Each participant in the intervention arm will receive one-on-one education on the purpose, benefits, and limitations of fentanyl test strip (FTS) testing and undergo a brief 20-minute FTS educational intervention (including a 2-3-minute video and hands-on demonstrations on how to use FTS). They will also receive a supply of 10 FTS upon enrollment and continued supply upon request throughout the 2-year follow up period.
Group II: Non-Intervention ArmActive Control1 Intervention
Fentanyl test strip (FTS) education and a supply of FTS will be offered to participants in the non-intervention arm of the study during the final quarter of year 5.
