Phone Interview to Prevent Recurring Opioid Overdoses

In brief

There has been a dramatic rise in opioid overdose (OOD) deaths in recent years. Attempts to ameliorate the problem have largely focused on increasing the accessibility of naloxone, an opioid antagonist that is effective in OOD reversal. Individuals who have experienced a non-fatal OOD are at risk for additional overdoses and yet there are no interventions that specifically target this high-risk population. To address this gap, the investigators have developed the "Tailored Telephone Intervention delivered by Peers to Prevent Recurring Opioid Overdoses" (TTIP-PRO). The overall goal of the present study is to conduct a pilot evaluation of the TTIP-PRO. The research literature suggests the need for an intervention targeting patients experiencing a non-fatal OOD.
